LES C. THOMSON · PHOTOGRAPHER · LONGFORD - any information?
Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2012 2:16 pm
I have just received this Christmas card in a vendor consignment with inserted photo by "LES. C. THOMSON · PHOTOGRAPHER · LONGFORD" (rubber handstamp)
I can find a reference to a Leslie Thomson as secretary of the Longford Agricultural Society in the 1930s but no other information or photos.
There is no listing for Thomson in Chris Long's book on Tasmanian Photographers but that particular publication is far from being an exhaustive study!
Does anyone have any other photos or records of Thomson? Has anyone seen any real photo postcards produced by him? Judging by the quality of the print
and the fact that he had his own personal "photographer" handstamp means that he must have been a little serious at least!
