Hi arriano,
I do hope you read this, I see you've not visited the forum for a month or so.
While browsing the internet I've just come across a superb original photo of Hannibal "aged 7 weeks", wearing what may be his Christening gown, posed with a young lady presumably his mother. The photo is a Studio portrait by a "High Street Cinderford" photographer, I was searching for items re my home town when I chanced upon this. The photo is not mine in any way whatsoever, if twere I would post it on the website. I hope this might interest you ?, if so please ask and I can send you details, it is available to purchase (not from me or anyone to do with me).

========================================

Question to the site's Administrators.

During my internet travels I often find old photos advertised to purchase, often quite inexpensive, which are relevant to the people of the Forest. I think it very sad such heirlooms are detached from their rightful family and always want to try to reunite them, or at least have them displayed on this site's Photos pages for all to enjoy. I suspect other forum users have found themselves in this position too. The photo of WW1 soldier Edmund Vimpany was a recent case in point.
However I know this forum clearly isn't intended as a trading post, so I'm unsure how to treat such items when found. In the case of Nap Cordy this great forum has enabled me to easily find a clear descendant, but usually it's not this easy by far. I hope this post is considered acceptable.

Please can someone clarify how, if at all, such "lost" family items may be broached on the forum ?.
Perhaps the website would like me to forward details of such finds to the administrators, with a view to your perhaps purchasing them yourselves for the Photo Gallery ?

Thankyou, Jeff.
