3 SBD PRIZE for the first person to guess the correct year of the photograph below.
Hello, it's Professor Pennington again
This time travel business is getting me all muddled.
I can't tell if I'm coming or going.
But I've been and I'm back.
So I hopped in the jolly old time machine and went for an afternoon spin round the decades - or was it centuries this time 😉
That dratted Reverse Chronometer Display Diode blew again so I didn't get the readings of what year I travelled to.
And the trip did wipe my short term memory again so I can't remember where and when I've been.
But I did get another photograph.
It does look like I travelled a bit further this time?
These do look like fine upstanding young gentleman.
Can you guess what year I travelled to?

Thank you everyone for entering. I have managed to enhance the photo well enough now to find the year.
This photograph was taken in 1885. Photography has been around longer than you think!

going off the clues I'll say the the first of the penny serials were published in the 1830's and Queen Victoria's reign began in 1937. In 1866 the penny parts were given a new format and renamed to Penny Dreadful. I make my guess that same year of 1866..
