Why, Thank you, Sir !
Just as an intro, here are the cover and the first page, which was stripped of pictures before I got the album !
The album belonged to Martha Hammond THORNEWILL nee WRIGHT, see http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/13978163/person/31582665
The picture of her shown there is No. 34B in this series.
These are the lo-res JPGs. If you want the hi-res BMP, just ask and I'll email.
Don't even THINK of tweaking these !

I have my grandmother's grandmother's album of some 200 Cartes de Visite, with not very many of them identified.
I have scanned front & back, and the empty pages. The folder of hi-res BMPs is 2.25 Gb, 405 files. The lo-res JPG Folder is 92 Mb.
"It would be nice" to have some dates (from the fashions) - and names !

Sorry about this, but....

However, I think there's a redundant "great", for the caption reads:-
"Mr Bruce.. his wife...and daughter"

I understand that "someone in charge" at the Burton Library (that is owned by
the public, but run by Staffs C.C. on their behalf) is not prepared to allow
access to tens of thousands of archived photographs due to misguided fears of
copyright infringement.
As an example, a randomly selected box from many that were transferred from
Guild Street when the library moved in 1976 (and not touched since) contained a
substantial collection of pictures of the town decorated for George V
coronation, 1911 - mostly long out of copyright and doubtless donated to the
PUBLIC library in the hope that they would provide the best public access so
that they could be enjoyed as the originator intended.
These collections, as with countless others, are locked away in dark cupboards
and are now oxidising, with around 25% of the original detail already lost.
What can we do about this ?
