One of those weird finds where the image has absolutely no connection with the message on the reverse.

Hats and flowers
There's a wedding theme this week at Sepia Saturday; this wedding group features lovely hats, elaborate flowers and a slightly bored-looking bridegroom.
Cabinet card by W. Myles Garner, 40 London Rd, London S.E.
More weddings over at Sepia Saturday.

Unknown family group
Many of the photographs I've posted recently are of complete unknowns and there's no way to identify who the people were or when and where they lived. This image portrays such a lovely family that it's a shame there's no information on the reverse.

Is this Mr Lee?
This is an odd one - a carte de visite by a Danish photographer that has an English name and address on the reverse. A search for anyone with that name on census returns for that area drew a blank, but I did find out that Stroat House still exists and it's a Grade II listed building.
