This image is a coloured postcard: These coloured postcards were produced by the Frith company in the 1950s and 60s, in the earliest days of coloured postcard production, and were printed using a process called collo-colour. Although the results look quite basic to modern eyes, used to the wonders of the modern printing process, these postcards have a certain period charm as delightfully nostalgic ephemera items from the not-so-distant past.

I have a similar photo to this one ref 32487 in an old photo album of my great grandfather's. His maternal grand-parents were the Warder of Chepstow Castle ( George Morrey) This album is now being returned to Wales and will be given to Chepstow Museum for their archive collection. My great-grandfather's name was Edgar Howe Salmon, my father's name was Edgar Striguil Salmon.
