First the model village pictures which should expand fairly
well when clicked on, my dating with these is based entirely on clothing styles
and printing method and not any understanding of how the exhibits at the model
village change over the years.
On to the miniature souvenir booklet wosisname for Ramsgate
it is very small and the quality of the original really is this bad. My guess
is that it is very scarce because of the very bad quality, most people didn’t
buy it in the first place and the majority of those who did buy it subsequently
threw it away.
Date wise it has to be after 1903 because the Royal Victoria
Pavilion is there and before 1914 because Westcliffe Hall isn’t.
For the regular Ramsgate bookshop followers here is the link
to the books that went out on the shelves on Saturday http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/the-age-of-innocence-in-t-he-bookshop.html
My commitments at the moment mean that I am not getting much
weekend time in Ramsgate at the moment so I missed the Battles for Victory
event this weekend, sorry about this however there is coverage elsewhere on the
web.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
