I have looked through these albums, about 10 in all, many times over the past 20 years since they came into my possession and which in total hold many hundreds of prints and admired the quality of many of the pictures, wondering also about the cameras which took them.
As many of the pictures are able to be taken out of the albums, I decided to have a go at scanning some of them to see how they would appear enlarged and thought I would post a few of them here. I believe some of the pictures in the albums go back to the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. With the few images I have posted below, I have made some notes from either small details that appear in the albums alongside the pictures or from what I have been able to establish myself.
I scanned them all using a minimum of 1200 dpi for quality purposes but then had to re-size them downwards to make them a suitable size to post on here. The three I have posted are of varying qualities and each can be viewed larger by clicking on them. I hope they are of interest.
1. This first one is probably one of the best quality ones, of which there are many and the print size is about 4” x 3”. I have no idea when it was taken or who the people are but I would imagine it is early 20th Century.
