HERE IS A CHARMING VINTAGE SEPIA PHOTOGRAPH (CIRCA 1912), USED TO ADVERTISE A LOCAL DAIRY, WHICH SHOWS THAT TOTTENHAM HAD ITS YOUNG SUPPORTERS ALL THOSE YEARS AGO! PROUDLY STANDING WITH HIS OLD-FASHIONED FOOTBALL IN A BACK GARDEN THE SMILING BOY IS WEARING A CLOTH CAP, POPULAR IN THOSE TIMES. THE OLD CARDBOARD MOUNT HAS HAND-WRITTEN LABELS 'BUCK UP SPURS! A 'FORWARD' TWO YEARS OLD'  (TOP) AND 'DRINK ABBOTT'S MILK!! AND KEEP SMILING!!!  THIS WAS BOUGHT SOME YEARS AGO AT AUCTION FOR A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY WHO WAS A KEEN SPURS SUPPORTER AND THE AUCTION CATALOGUE STATED THAT (ACCORDING TO THE VENDOR) "THE PHOTOGRAPH SHOWED HAROLD THOMAS VENABLES (BORN 1907) OF RAVENSTONE ROAD, HORNSEY, NORTH LONDON, ABBOTT'S WAS THE LOCAL TOTTENHAM DAIRY."

DIMENSIONS: ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH 44,5CMS x 30CMS; WITH OLD CARDBOARD MOUNT 56CMS x 36CMS; INCLUDING MODERN OUTER MOUNT 70CMS x 48.5CMS.
