Title: Can anyone date or improve this image no 2
Post by: loanne on Friday 06 February 09 10:03 GMT (UK)
Thanks to your help on this board I now know the approx date of my first old faded image which so many of you have helped me with. If anyone can help with this one I would be very grateful. This one is from my husbands side and I know nothing about it at all.
Many thanks

Hi xinia,
Thank you. Looks like some sort of tricycle. Is it a girl or boy I wonder?

Hi Loanne,
The ivy leaf patern makes me think art neuveau again. Maybe about 1900-05.
I'll download the pic and have a better look, but probably won't get back until maybe Sunday.
Leonie.

I tried to filter and clarify this one but couldn't it any clearer. Sorry.
Nothing I can see to date it with.
Is there anything at all on the back?
Darned if I can see anything that looks like a second child.  ???
Leonie.

Hi..

I know it is difficult to see ... and it is maybe just the eye playing tricks - but I have highlighted the areas to see if I am imagining it or not...

Hi all,
There's nothing on the back at all. Just a covering of paper stuck down to hold the picture in the cardboard frame.

Must admit I didn't turn up the second child...doesn't mean she isn't there and I missed her....
It's a boy on a tricycle...
Sorry I couldn't do more on the bottom left...you'll have to imagine the rest of the wheel.... :D
