A black and white postcard of the blind concertina player George Young, together with Mrs Young.

The card catalogued here is the first known with Mrs Young appearing on it, and George holds his Lachenal Edeophone metal-ended English concertina. In most cards, he is seated on a turned-wood chair holding a Lachenal Edeophone metal-ended English concertina, with a 48-key metal-ended English concertina on a nearby pot-stand.

The reason for this change of name is not known.
