Excellent. Thanks for posting this Christian. Now what are the chances of someone recognising the two in the picture. They might have taken more ripper-related photos?Regards

“...A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane
As night descends upon this fabled street:
A lonely hansom splashes through the rain,
The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet.
Here, though the world explode, these two survive,
And it is always eighteen ninety-five.”

It makes one wonder what other gems have been casually disposed of over the years.
I'm glad that you salvaged this one!

I love vernacular photography, but it's gotten so niche that it's expensive. I recall turning up job lots etc because they were boring, I'd bite the hand off anyone now for a stack of old family snaps. Antique fairs still have pics, but it's almost exclusively black and white individual photos, who knows how many colour pics from the 20th century are out there?
My particular penchant is post war socialism, council estates and tower blocks etc. Pitiful in their absence from the photographic record, but undoubtedly out there in hundreds of family snapshots. Then there's the people, the fashion, the cars. History.Thems the Vagaries.....

Where do you find these? Online, or searching flea markets etc for the real thing? Or both?
