This is a local postcard for a change and not a CDV , but this is a first for me ..
The photograph is from the Willie Manders Pictorial Studios Scarborough ( which I have not heard of before , hopefully someone can help ) ..
The Card printed by The Pictorial Photo Publishing Co. , 1 Bath Buildings , Foreshore Road , Scarborough...

Now solved , the image is Willie Manders and must have been a publicity image when appearing in the town ..
As Willie Manders was an early female impersonator ...
Thankyou Patricia Gerard for solving this for us ...

This is a very welcome addition to our social history collection ....

Not a CDV or a cabinet card but a local postcard by A.M. Cromack ..
On the back it says ( I think ) Godfrey Herbert Clayton , aged 1 year & 11 months in December 1907 ...

I wonder what became of little Godfrey , I hope he lived a long life ...
Great we have a name with the image

They certainly seem to be looking back at us ...
