James Morley replied to jo hague's discussion Backing cards - how widely distributed? in the group Carte de Visite
"I may be wrong but wouldn't the handwritten 'copy' be instructions to a photographer (possibly with dimensions below) to copy this image, rather than this image being a copy?"

About me

I am a private collector with relatively little experience but an unbridled passion for old photographs!

I have set up and run a website for identification of old photographs - see www.whatsthatpicture.com
