unsure of what is written on back of old photo

[ryan37]

It was a man with a boy I perhaps  grandson looks very old I will
Post the photo in the morning I might add it onto photo restoration as it’s very faded

I think it was photographed in Aberdeen and guessing sent to Peterhead ?

It's a slip of paper torn from a pad, so I wonder if it's the photographer's job notes. P & F could be something like Print and Frame.

I think it starts with 'off by...' - perhaps where the original needs to be cropped? The line ending 'white' might be to do with the colour of the card/mount.

I see there's more on the mount itself (RH edge as we see it), which I think is

Mrs Samuel
c/o Peterhead

suggesting that the work was sent away to be done elsewhere, and returned to Peterhead for her to collect.

The Mrs Samuel, c/o Peterhead would certainly fit with the info on the other thread, Arthur

I thought so too while I was deciphering it, then forgot to mention it.

Just so happens that the photo on the restore section isn’t involved directly with the backing I have asked about it’s from
Same collection and probably is the same people but I will post the photo from where the writing is on the back next

I don't know. I gave my opinion about it being the photographer's instructions, and no-one has commented on that yet. It may be that someone needs to play around with the contrast etc to make out some more words before we can reach a definite answer.

Thanks very much I have seen something like that done before but don’t know how to do it

Like inverting the colours ?

Many thanks

Ryan
