Paper Ephemera

 

  One. A studio portrait postcard image of a Major of the Royal Canadian Regiment, c. 1914-1918. Subject is unfortunately unidentified, but given his rank and the clarity of image, research is doubtlessly possible. Small loss of paper on reverse where it appears the image was removed from an album. Photographer name 'Richard Brown 35 Bold Street' is embossed on the image at lower left. Brown operated at this address in Liverpool, England between 1892 and 1931.
