I’m loving this chap’s tailoring, flat cap and the rural idyll studio background; complete with rustic fence. The back of the photograph is blank, but I guess he is a Yorkshireman (as all the other photographs in the box I found it in had connects to Hull, Scarborough and Sheffield). Perhaps I should get myself some skinny trousers…

I love those old photos and like you I wonder what the story might have been. It seems sort of sad that he got lost, but am always amazed how many end up in thrift stores, when I would love to see old pictures of my family, as there are none.
It is a very emotional hobby, looking through boxes of old photographs in these shops, because somebody has already disowned them and now I’m judging which ones are more interesting than others! Then again, I hate to think of characters like this chap who get “lost”, so I keep on looking.
