The relative costs.....

.....of photography over time. But not QUITE as different as you might imagine, 8/6 in 1898 equates to £204 in 2009 (according to measuringworth.com using average earnings as a conversion factor) and 4d for J. H. Skinner's 'New Illustrated Catalogue' comes in at a whopping £7.60.........

You've probably guessed that the weather has taken a turn for the worse today and me and my sunburnt nose (not a pretty sight) won't be taking to the windy streets if we can help it......
