Picnic 1899 with sunshade

Picnic 1899

I drew a bit of a blank finding an image in my collection to suit any of this week's Sepia Saturday themes. I decided to post another photograph from the group that includes the two previously posted images here and here.

This is one of three board-mounted photographs (128mm wide, 100mm high) dated 1899 and titled "Picnic" but without location details. It was only when I looked at the scan that I realised the chap on the left is holding a camera and what we have here is a photograph of a photographer!

As ever, more of the same over at Sepia Saturday.

Studio portrait 2

This has the same dimensions as yesterday's portrait; the photograph has a gloss finish unlike the first one which is matte.

The first of a pair of studio portraits by Powles & Briggs, Boothferry Road, Goole. Mount 152mm x 232mm; photograph 90mm x 130mm.

Procession

I have an unidentified procession taking place in Alexandria for this week's Sepia Saturday. The board-mounted image comes from the same group of photographs as this one, dated 1894. It's larger than a cabinet card and measures 125mm wide by 192mm high.

I found a couple of other examples of the photographer's work here and here and some information about him here, but I've no idea who is in the carriage or why they're in a procession.
