June in Reading - a photo on Flickriver

June in Reading

            The Postcard

A postally unused postcard that was published by the Arcade Studios of Reading. Someone has written on the divided back of the card:

"June 
1 year 7 months."

Other than her first name, there are no indications as to the identity of the girl, nor the date of the photograph. The reference number 4801 has been written in pencil on the divided back of the card.

 It's a pity that Edwardian and later photographers never seemed to encode the date of the photo shoot within the reference number, and when their businesses closed, the reference numbers, along with the identities of the sitters, were discarded. 

The photographic negatives were also generally thrown away, often hundreds of thousands of them for each studio, when the premises were cleared for a subsequent occupant.
