[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 315145, member: 481"]Apologies for writing my tag name all over the photo, but I'm feeling a bit paranoid at the moment! I'd love some opinions on this image, which came in a tatty old album filled with photographs and prints. Measures 14.5 x 10cm and is firmly stuck to a cardboard page, with 'Eastern Costumes' scrawled underneath. The original owner appears to have come from Norfolk, England and the seller I bought it from suggested some connected to photographer Francis Frith, although I don't have evidence for that. So... what does it look like to you? Authentic? Victorian fancy dress party? Theatre related? Mass produced photo to show the costumes (I can't find another online but that doesn't mean there aren't any...)? What does the upturned crescent moon symbol mean? Masonic? Hope you find it as intriguing as I do! [ATTACH=full]104521[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
