This cottage belonged to my great grandmother and possibly my great - great grandmother.
This photograph has quite a story:
Back in the mid 1970s when I was a child, this photograph arrived from Denmark, Express Air Mail. It had been seen on a historical calendar by a friend of my father's family, who recognised the cottage. The friend contacted my father's sister who tracked down the company that had made the calendars and obtained a number of prints.
This photograph is rather faded because my father kept it on the wall of his office till the day he died. Australia is a sunny place and not good for long time photo display.
After Father died I immediately took the photo down, removed it from its frame and stored it correctly.
I can still recall Father's delight on opening the Express Air Mail envelope and finding this photograph: he spent many childhood days at this cottage. (He always called it a cottage)
Does anyone recognise the photograph, please, and perhaps the exact location?
Much appreciate any input.
Hey Escaliba
It looks like a smallholder house with the garden in a village.
But it will be very difficult to locate such a photo.
You write it's from a calender from 1970, is it possible for you to get the name or company of the firm who publiced the calender, then it might be possible to locate the photo.
