Taken from 'Good Photography'
magazine for October 1955, page 523.
Bob photographs the engagement
of his sister Joan to her future husband Steve during the Saturday
evening celebration and, following Sunday lunch, disappears to
surprise Steve with four finished 'terrific' colour prints before
Steve leaves to catch his midnight train.
The half length 'Weekend Pack'
film took 6 exposures 2¼"x2¼" or 4 exposures
2¼"x3¼" and cost 8s/8d (43p). With his
flashbulbs, film, paper and processing chemicals, young Bob must
have invested the equivalent of perhaps £50 in his 4 exposures
(2007 values) by the time he was handing his prints to his future
brother-in-law, Steve.
