No I'm stalking you China.. really I'm not.I thought early 1900's.
The big bow and V neck bodice and the oval vignette look about 1900-05.
What d'you think.

again, thank you Irene....I wish I had known about this website before!!  :)

If I reply to this, will jim see it too?

I wasn't too worried about them being coloured but a lady called Carolyn has coloured a couple of them and I'm amazed how good they look so if jim can read this, please feel free to colour them ;D

Hi all,

I now have the dimensions of this picture if it helps confirm dating?  61/2" x 41/8".  It is on plain brown board and from what we can see it was mounted this way when printed??

Not sure if that helps? :-)

many thanks

This confirms the early 1900's date,my opinion anyway.
