Outside, 7:30 am, cloudy.
No direct sunlight.
Freehand cellphone pic

Sufficient light?

Looks OK to me.

Can't say, I've been blinded by the sheer awesomeness of the third one.
Looked fine on the first pictures AFAI can remember

(Edit : not to say the first two are not worthy of the major leagues)

Yeah, light looks good, bright enough but no glare.
Two questions: I can't see, is that Greaves a W(crown)R or a V(crown)R? Also is that Old English a Packwood? Hard to read the stamp but it looks like maybe Lawton. Awesome stuff either way.

the Old English is an I Barber. Which is a knockoff of John Barber.
some time back I dated this to 1810-1834

No kidding, I. Barber? I've heard of them but never seen one. As they say, "plagerism is the most sincere form of flattery." That's actually almost cooler than a John Barber...almost.

I have a packwood Old English is why I asked. I can't remember but if I recall I think he was plagerer also. I know he was a snake oil salesman and somewhat of a showboater of the same order as Wm Stenton.
