Phil Sutters' photos with the keyword: costume

Shared for Vintage Theme Park's weekly theme - People - there are a few here ! A cropped version of an old print, from a collection I inherited from my grandfather. Photographed by the companies that made postcards, these were about 8" x 6" and on fairly thin paper. There were almost a hundred in the collection mainly of southern England, from Cheltenham south and parts of Wales. I scanned them all and then sent the originals to the relevant local history archives. This view is definitely worth enlarging. Add a comment Comments

I haven't been able to find out what these folk in Norse costume were in Brighton for. Clearly they were on a peaceful mission being without weapons. I am not sure if anyone is now allowed to wear horned helms, as the Vikings apparently didn't.
