Cooke Family Photos

Windows Into The Past

Recently I was fortunate enough to be contacted by a dealer in old photos. He had acquired some old photos and cabinet cards of the Cooke family. He sent me some scans, and I am pleased to present them here.

The photos relate to the family of the 9th Baronet, Sir William Ridley Charles Cooke (1827-1894).

Here are the photos in their original form.
