What is this picture about? I thought the chap in the background looked a bit Australian. There is a stamp on the back "J.H. Carr & Co, Bunbury" so I did a Google search on that. Bunbury is a city in Western Australia. And there was a Chemist's called J.H. Carr there (Victoria Street [76-78] cnr Wellington Street). Collectibles from J.H. Carr turn up on eBay or similar sites.
The only Australian connection I know of is Velda, a granddaughter of Annie Precious (nee McCann.) I have a few pictures from her in the archive, but this is not the kind of happy family snap (often helpfully labelled with names) I associate with her. And I don't think she emigrated until the 1960s at least; this picture looks much older.
