Of course, the women in the photo below are dressed up gorjers but the wagon is clearly authentic and so (it seems ) are most of the items on the roof. Lower right, Gypsy woman with donkey rides on beach, Northumberland, dated 1915.

These Welch "Your Fortune" postcards dating from 1906 are a few from a very large series - a total of about 60 cards but the differences between some are very minor. Robert McDougall discovered that the older woman in these was actually a Blackpool Boswell who the Welches 'dressed up' to look like a Gypsy. Of course they are very stereotypical.
