Here’s another photo back from my personal collection. This one is from Edgar Gael’s photo studio. Gael was a British photographer in London from the mid-late 1800s. He had a handful of different photo back designs, but this one is my personal favorite. It’s from 1880 and is by far the most intricately illustrated of his collection.
If you’re interested in learning more about Edgar Gael, his competition, and other prominent photographers from the 1800, here is a great resource.
Just so everyone knows, she did an awesome job Photoshopping out some gnarly handwriting that was ruining this beautiful Photoback.
That’s really nice! Even better is that Berkerley Vale, Falmouth, where his shop was is a two minute walk from where I live!
Wow- that makes the world seem so incredibly small
