Fab Photo Collage Festival - Day Fifteen
Ted and his mother - Ted aged 22 c1922 Don't you think this is an interesting photo? The clothes they are wearing are incredibly plain ... and yet she has a fur draped across her lap. I really wish there was an expert in costume or fashion who could help me here. Ted's suit looks almost Chinese or artisan like - someone help me here. What do you think? He was married to Ethel Carrett in 1924 and at that time was described as a Draftsman. And I want to know what that big B is on Eleanor's collar. Ooh, so many questions..... Now in my search to try and identify the kind of suit that Edwin is wearing I have found this page on the V & A's site. This site also looks amazing. It gave me the idea that perhaps Ted is wearing a band uniform. Maybe Eleanor is too. I would appreciate any other suggestions in terms of resources.
