Pols Robert. Looking at Old Photographs

Bury: Federation of Family History Societies, 1998. — 83 p. — ISBN I 872094 37 6.This book is dedicated to the proposition that the more you look, the more you see. In essence it is a casebook, offering discussion of a series of examples of old photographs. An approach to studying such photographs is considered first, but the bulk of the work is concerned with putting considerations into action by applying them to real pictures. The pictures in question are mainly studio photographs, but other kinds of picture begin to make an appearance as the years progress, just as tends to happen in any family collection. The time scale covers the Victorian and Edwardian eras and the early Georgian years, up to and including the First World War.
