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.
