Edwin Arthur Cade began his career as a photographer, so included in the baggage all the necessary equipment to photograph, and develop, pictures.  However, not many survived as the climate made it difficult to keep the film and the negatives dry. 

But, there are a few, and these are they.  Comparing them with photographs taken in 2003, shows just how far the world has come in just 100 years.
