A soldier's family photographed in West London

This family portrait has been mounted on a beige-coloured card on which is printed the name and address of the photographic studio that produced it: ‘Chas. H. Skillman, 156, Uxbridge Rd., London, W. possibly Ealing’. The family comprises a soldier–father and his wife, who is holding a baby dressed in a christening gown. Standing between his parents, his arm linked with his father’s, is the baby’s older brother, whose sister perches on the arm of their father’s chair. Their soldier–father’s uniform is notable for its black buttons.

Stamped on the back of this real photographic postcard is a number – ‘96500’ – and the name and address of the photographic studio that produced it: ‘CAMPBELL GRAY, PHOTO, 88 EDGEWARE ROAD, W London’. Posing solemnly with their parents, the two army children in the photograph appear to be teenagers. Their soldier–father’s uniform looks well worn; it is not possible to make out the details of his circular cap badge. || A real photographic postcard. || || Photograph || A photograph of a British soldier's family photographed in west London.
