"Hi - I am helping the local charity shop with a large collection of documents which were being thrown out by a family who had no interest. It includes images from the 1860s to 1960s. Most of them boring portraits of clergy men and their travels in…"

"Yes! Many are attractive in their own right. The Kodak ones from c1910 feature the Kodak girl, the Ensign and Ilford envelopes are coloured and they are reflect the prevailing design aesthetic of their period."
