Eric in February 1964

Eric William Valentine Hawes, identified by Antony Greenfield. The reverse is inscribed “Feb: 1964.” and appears to name the sitters as “Mr Heidecker + Eric.” The surname is a tentative reading.

Eric seated indoors in a dark suit and striped tie, with another man partly visible at left — Original family photograph, IMG_2817(1).jpeg, preserved unchanged. Eric is the man facing the camera; another man is partly visible at the left edge. Location, occasion and photographer unknown.

Reverse and transcription

Feb: 1964.
Mr Heidecker + Eric.

The month and year are clear. “Heidecker” is a provisional transcription requiring confirmation. The inscription is retained as evidence rather than silently normalised to a different name.

Reverse inscribed February 1964 and a name tentatively read as Mr Heidecker plus Eric — Original reverse, IMG_2818(1).jpeg, preserved unchanged. Both sides supplied by Antony Greenfield on 8 November 2026.

Eric’s identity is supplied by the family; the date is supported by the handwritten reverse. The other man’s identity remains provisional.
