Leicestershire
The Leicestershire views comprise a large and interesting group, almost certainly all by the same photographer. Many are backstamped or have attached labels from H.B. Cooper, Photographer and Picture Frame Maker, 13 Abbey Park Road, Leicester. A few are out of the region but I have kept them all together as an example of the work of one photographer. Cooper is not recorded by Treadwell but was a professional photographer at the end of the 19th century.
This is the back
of a portrait of a young man, dated circa 1899.
