Through a Lens Darkly: Edwardian Weymouth in "Photogravure"

These are all postcards in the Milton "Photogravure Series".  They have a distinctive ragged edge and are printed on quite rough, thick paper.  Unlike other postcards which are sometimes very staged-looking and have been touched up in production, these images give the impression of being stills from an early film and provide a very realistic, if grainy, picture.

Mobile changing room on the far right with 'Ladies Sail Car' written on the side.

 Plenty of fashionable straw hats.
