The Royal Pavilion, Brighton
The Royal Pavilion, Brighton, I bought this postcard for two reasons, firstly, we are finally off to Brighton to see Dita Von Teese after a two year wait and secondly, because it was printed for Colourmaster International by Photo Precision Limited, St. Ives, Huntingdonshire. The Huntingdonshire part is interesting as the boundaries changed in 1974 when St. Ives became part of Cambridgeshire, therefore as I didn’t leave Photo Precision until 1976 I may well have had a hand in its production. Looking at the sky under my magnifying glass, which I liberated when I left, the lack of clouds suggests the retouching department had been hard at work, taking them out rather than adding fluffy white ones.
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
