Beschreibung

2 large approx 11 x 8 inch 1895 sepia finish photos of "The Old County Court, High St, Manchester, original purple rubber stamp with name of the photographer and his business address in the mount and also handwritten by the photographer, details of the photos at the base of the outer wide grey cardboard mount, with the time taken of 8.10 & 8.30 AM. This area damaged with loss to some of the lettering and words, but enough to verify authenticity of period owner and originality. One has surface scratches to top left of image have pierced the surface in several places a little, thin line gouged spots just spoiling the overall effect, but not too severe, some fading or perhaps only morning light in sky area, etched titles also on the images from the glass plates, show shop and in distance on one is the names of "Whatagoodtea" and full window display in the shop (possibly a wholesalers as it says . & Co?) and "George Reece & Co Picture Framers" noted in the far distance lower right facing the High St, in between are donkey & horse haulage carts, with some boys in the foreground and a poster for "Vote Byrne". The other with the damage is taken from the opposite position looking up the street and showing the front door with the Royal Coat of Arms above the door, a blurred figure walking towards the camera, there are a couple of old tea spots or splashes on the edge of the shop photo, only one actually on the image itself, some other age issues to the mounts. These are probably unique. Historical Items. High St today has luxury apartments and is near the Shudehill northern quarter old textile office buildings. * John Ambler worked for the Manchester Studio of Lachlan McLachlan before setting up on his own in Wellington St, Salford and Market St Manchester between 1883-1889.
