Figure 1.-- We note quite a number of studio portraits taken at English seaside resorts with appropriate backdrops. A good example is John Smith at Blackpool in 1898 with an elaborate donkey and cart get up. John wears a broad-brimmed sailor hat with what looks like a white dress with a large square collat, but it is a little difficicult to make out the details of the garment. There is a great backdrop with the beach and recognizable tower.
