Hi friends,
This photo belonged to my late aunt - unfortunately no-one knows who she is! I can't explain why, but she doesn't look English to me.
The photo is firmly stuck onto a piece of thick brown card and looks as if it has some chopped off the bottom - no writing on the back, so WYSIWYG I am afraid. I hope you might be able to date her from her clothes and hair style please.
If anyone wants to clean and colour her, for their own amusement, please do, but as I don't know who she is I don't want you to waste your time. :)
Thanks for looking!
Judy :D

Just before the war I suggest, Judy...and to me she looks like a classic peaches-and-cream English beauty. Emphasis on beauty!! :D
Cheers,

Hi Carolyn,
I must agree with Bozzo. Absolutely stunning!
Thank you!

Agree with China's date,1910-12 & she looks around 18-21 so someone born around 1890.
I would suggest she's unmarried as she's posed with her left hand behind her which was a style used for single women.

Hi Jim,
That is really interesting about not showing her ring finger.
Thank you for the confirmation of the date - I found it hard to gauge her age so that is helpful too.
If she is one of my great aunts your observations will help me to narrow down who she might be.
Thank you for your time and interest.
Judy :D

The photo enhancement is excellent. Would you tell us what software you are using?
