Gelatin silver print, c. 1905, 24.4 by 29.8 cm, mounted on a 33 by 41 cm card. No studio mark or date. While the mounting card has large dampstains, mildew stains in the lower margin, and edge wear, the photo is very good with only a dark, finger-like 6 cm drip stain from the lower edge of the print. Slight bowing of the print and card. A lovely winter scene of two men shoveling and sweeping snow in the commons of the Pantiles, in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. To their right stands the shop of H.G. Groves displaying two signs for The Tabard Inn Library, as well as a sign for Onoto Pens. View More...
