Elizabeth Beresford "Wombles" creator 1974
Press agency photo supplied to the Echo & Post. Captioned as above and "...pictured at her London home with some of her creations" dated 12/12/1974
Original U.K. press agency photo released for publication & promotion. With caption to reverse, dated, with agency backstamp. As found in a press archive envelope, untouched for forty odd years.
Condition: Excellent, barely any handling. Printed on gloss finish photo paper. Better tones than shown in my photo.
Size: 8 x 6 inch (20 x 15 cm)
A rare original collectors item
An original vintage promotional photograph from a recently unearthed U.K. Press archive. The newspaper closed down in 1983 and the archive has been in storage from that time.
No modern reproductions here !
Any dates stamped to reverse indicate when the photo was used in the newspaper, but as the photos are sent out usually for promoting a specific TV programme/ film/ concert/ record release/ event in that week/ month, the earliest date stamped gives some indication of age. Some photo's have printed dates, some are not dated. I will usually include a photo of the back unless it is totally blank or has nothing significant.
Reverse: Most press photos will have some combination of- writing, date stamps, press slips/ bio sheets stuck on, cropping lines, newspaper layout slips stuck on, agency stamps etc. See photo of reverse if shown
This is a genuine item, not a copy or reprint. Photo is of actual item. It will be sent in strong envelope with extra protection.
Note: I try to take clear photo's of the items shown, however if there is any slight blurring this is the fault of automatic focus on the camera and not a fault of the item. Any faults are described above.
