Found this whilst browsing , it's a hardback book cover seeminly advertising 'Father Ted's' . Welcome Gifts series published in 1912 (?) . If I was the dog I would get out of the way of the lad with the cannon ! , once more the sailor suit makes an appearence - I half wish I had had the opportunity to wear one in my youth ! . I will investigate more on subject of Fathers Ted's books .
PS Did a bit more digging into the above post it was published bu Raphael Tuck & sons , at one point they were the worlds largest postcard publisher ! , more here at Raphael Tuck & Sons - Wikipedia
Tony, I think it's "Father Tuck's".....
ReplyDeleteThe payment for Father Ted's book was " just resting in his bank account ".....
I dread to think what Father Jack's series was like! There was "drink", "girls" and the other one.....☺☺☺☺
