EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph showcases an envelope filled with 400 Johnson's Invisible Photo Corners, a popular mounting solution for photograph albums in the 1920s. The envelope, adorned with the distinctive Johnson's logo in yellow, red, and black, bears a price of sixpence, equivalent to around 2.50 pounds today. The corners, which are not visible in the photograph, were designed to be invisible once attached to the photographs, ensuring a clean and uncluttered look for albums. The materials used in the production of these corners were carefully selected to ensure the best possible preservation of photographs. The corners were typically made from a combination of rubber and paper, allowing them to be easily moistened and then stuck to the back of the photographs for secure mounting. Photography was a burgeoning industry in the 1920s, with the popularity of amateur photography on the rise. The need for convenient and effective mounting solutions for photographs in albums was therefore high. Johnson's Invisible Photo Corners provided a practical and cost-effective solution, making them a staple item for photographers and album enthusiasts alike. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of photographic materials and the role that companies like Johnson's played in the development and popularization of photography. The envelope and its contents serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our precious photographic memories, a tradition that continues to this day.
