Bob Enever was one of those brilliant studio photographers who could be told what was wanted (especially if it was a detailed still-life) and then left to get on with it...he always delivered, too. Their Christmas cards were printed on photo paper and folded in half, the front always had a simple yuletide tableau which turned to be anything but when you looked at the back of the card. I think the first card was from the early sixties and the last, the only time I saw a colored one, was from the late eighties when the studio moved out of central London.
Christmas cards part two is in the December 2014 archive
I was on the Hiller and Swatton ones as a child ( I am Bob Enever's son), and he used my skeleton ( I was a medical student by then) for the kitchen scene.
ReplyDeleteGary: thanks for the comment. I always loved Bob's cards which is why I kept them. Now lots more people can enjoy them.
