About Martin Ridley
- Martin John Ridley (Martin J Ridley or MJR) (11 January 1861 – 13 June 1936) was an English Victorian/Edwardian photographer based in Bournemouth.
- Many of his photographs were used to produce picture postcards of the seaside towns and attractions in the South of England.
- Many of these postcards are still circulating at postcard fairs and acquired by collectors.
- They are usually identifiable by the initials "MJR" followed by a serial number.
- Several thousand of his original glass-plate negatives still exist and are being academically catalogued.
- A large sub-section of these negatives, featuring scenes in Wales, is held by the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. Although based in Bournemouth, Ridley's photographs span from Oxford in the north and Cornwall in the south-west to the Isle of Wight in the south.
