Judging by the amount of photographers there must be a lot of people using them.

Therefore the prices must have been affordable for a lot of people.

However they could have been used for special occasions and people could have saved up enough to pay but that feels incorrect for the number of photographers.

I know that my Great Grandfather Campbell had at lease two taken for each of his 4 children.

Each child alone and then with his wife and child or children. I have Grandfather plus parents then second child parents and sibling and finally parents with all four children.

I guess that as a ship rivetter he probably have a good wage.

Maybe I should check what the parents are wearing in 1886, 1888, 1890 & 1893 same clothes or modified originals.

Where my photos taken in Hebburn, Jarrow, Shields & Newcastle, have to check.
