My question(s) to June (Atarah) is/are this:

Alot of these coloured piccy's/postcards all date from around 1905, give or take a year each way? Why?

1) Is it all single scource? i.e. someone suddenly got the urge to go round taking piccy's around then. If so - who was he/she?

2) Or is /was it part of the latest craze (like having a trendy ring tone on your mobile) where half the town suddenly got up & said "lets start taking piccy's of Accy!"

3) I've seen various old piccy's of Ozzy, but never any of Church. Why? Was Church, c1900, considered a dangerous place to venture in to? (judging by other postings on here it was certainly a dangerous place c1950, what with ratocide going on and whatever.......). Or was it because there was nowt considered worth photographing?

Answers would be appreciated!
