  • Photo restoration & help with date please



    Because of resemblance to Nan (1878-1969), I think this may be a photo of one of her older sisters.

    An approximate date, and your ideas as to the lady’s age would help enormously, please.

    Also, if one of the expert folk on here could improve the photo for me that would be tremendous.

    Many thanks,
    Carol

    Hi, Looking at the shape of her hat I think Aunties picture dates from about 1920, also you can see her feet which means she isn't too early as edwardian ladies dresses went to the floor. If her coat is a wrap around ( I can't tell, )that's also a 20s thing. She looks very pleased with herself, she must have felt very smart with all that fur!

      Thank you, Barbara.

      I hadn't thought of it being as late as 1920, but that would mean an age of about 50-ish, which could well be.

      She does look rather smug, although the furs may have belonged to the studio ;) Nan was the youngest - and least well-placed - of the family.

      My thanks again.
      Carol

          Niksmum,

          Thank you so much - that's much cleaner and crisper.

          Appreciate your help.

          Regards,
          Carol
