E. PHILLIPS
This studio photograph of E. Phillips is a bit of a mystery for it is not
often that you would see working class people in a studio simply because their
money was precious to them. But this young man did not seem to mind, he has
the look of a determined person who was going to go far.
Now what did he work at? was he left-handed or did he use both hands in his
job for his sleeve is worn. He has a shirt on with what looks like a tie so
he was not a labourer. Who was he spending his hard-earned money on? It wasn't
for his mother so was it the start of a romance? Perhaps someone can tell
us.
