Dear sirs,
I was hoping you could help me. I have inherited two large heavy wooden frames (23″x21″) which have coloured photos/paintings of a Victorian/Edwardian family. On the back is a label stating they were taken by Denis R.Thompson of Sheffield.
Could you tell anything further about them or whether they are collectors pieces?
Thank you.
