A soldier and his family photographed in Bristol
A real photographic postcard
Partially stamped on the back of this real photographic postcard is the name and address of the photographic studio that produced it: ‘Modern Photo Co., 57, Castle St, Bristol’. On the front, a little girl is pictured standing next to her mother. Her soldier–father stands alongside them. He has two overseas service stripes on his lower right-hand sleeve (which dates this photograph to 1918), signifying that he had served in the army for two years overseas.

A real photographic postcard || Although we do not know the identities of the family pictured on the front of this real photographic postcard, the text in the bottom right-hand corner tells us that they were photographed in Bontoft’s studio in Ilkley (then in the West Riding of Yorkshire). The British army sergeant is pictured looking down at the baby that his wife is holding; his visible shoulder title is illegible. His wife is wearing an ornate hat and a fur scarf, the baby’s long white gown suggests that the photograph commemorates his or her christening. || || Front || Photograph || A British soldier's family
