Title: Mabel
Post by: kesannah on Tuesday 23 December 08 19:35 GMT (UK)
This is photo No 2.  As this photo is very dark I cannot tell whether this is earlier or later.

Again I am unable to tell who the other young lady is.

Here it is this time.

Hi again
I think these are the same two ladies as the other photo and I also think that it is the same studio. ::)

Irene, Yes, they are the same two ladies as on the other photo. Mabel is the one on the right in both. I am trying to ascertain her approx age and approx year they were taken.  I wondered if it was the same studio and they were both taken at the same time.

These 2 lively girls look about 18-20 so 1910-12 for the photo is my estimate.
The only connection I can find in the 2 photos are their shoes which seem to be the same in both also they look about the same age in both.
Lovely photos.

Jim Thankyou for the date. It is a little later than I thought-not much good at guessing peoples ages. I didn't think they looked related but needed another opinion. I guess they were just friends.

Mudge Thankyou too.  They look better in your restorations than the original.

Happy Christmas to you both.

I think it's the same two gals, taken at the same time in the same studio in different costumes from a theatrical production.... date of course....well, I'll leave that to someone else....
The pose in the first photo seems very Isadora Duncan inspired to me, so any time around 1915

Just a thought....there is a mark on the ring finger of the lady on the left that could well be a wedding ring........
I haven't coloured it up because I didn't know if it was ring, or just finger...

Whey Hey Paula,

I never noticed the ring. They are the same two as in the other photo,I though perhaps they had the two pics done at the same time and just changed their outfits.

Now am even more curious as to who this other girl is. I haven't got a clue. :(  I can't find a likely candidate in the family at the moment. Might be someone on Planet Zog ;D

They are certainly having fun together, so if not family, very good friends....
Planet Zog looks a good place to start a search  :)

Hello

1st post !!

The ladies looked so happy, I couldn't resist.

Not happy with the stool leg.

I ran this as a HDR image to try and improve the dynamic range.....
