Title: .WW1 Photos marked with stylus
Post by: brigidmac on Wednesday 10 April 24 16:58 BST (UK)

I'm watching a program
Britain in Focus

The big about WW1 PHOTOGRAPHY was fascinating

I just saw explanation of a camera which had a shutter + pen so dates + places could be marked  stylus onto the negative

That must be a useful way of dating g photos

The photos of a woman called Emily Margaret Broome were very impressive . She was a commercial photographer..+ took a lot of group shots of soldiers

I wonder if anyone has any of her photos

The problem is that these postcard style photos didn't have the photographers
logo on the back so there's no way of identifying who took them.
