The
Photographer
John Houston writes:
"There is no photographer's stamp, or
marks of any nature on the back of this photograph that I e-mailed
to you. I have other photographs, of myself and with my brother
Alan in our Sparta "strips" taken on the same day, and they do not
have any stamps or markings on them either.
I seem to recall that they were taken
by Mr. Henderson who is 2nd from the left in row 2. As Mr.
Henderson is in this photographs and the photograph taken around
1947, his assistant must have taken these shots.
The camera used was a plate type, on a
tripod, with a large black cloth that the photographer went under
to focus, etc.
I don't think that Mr. Henderson had
a photography business. He was a professional photographer, and
I think he worked as such with the Edinburgh Dispatch, or the
Evening News. Mr. Henderson also had a son at Sparta who will be
in the photograph, but I can't remember what he looked like."
