Notes
The photograph is part of a larger collection of photographs taken and kept by the Brown family. The collection, along with a pair of diaries and a collection of poems, were scanned by Broomfield Depot Museum staff in 2015. The scans were donated to the museum by Janet Justice-Waddington, the daughter of Frances Ridsdale, that same year. Janet owns the original photographs as of 2015; the originals are not in the Broomfield Depot Museum's collections.
