I would love a date for this one please..The back is plain...I don't mind if anyone wants to have a play with this one.
Thanks again.

Around the same time, Carol, I think....early 1900s. Especially as the back is plain, and the texturing on the front.
Cheers,
China

Glad to hear that China as I'm hoping there is a relationship between the nurse and the postal worker...Oooops! Postman ;D ;D ;D
Thanks again China...I know you like to be kept busty ;D ;D ;D ;D
Carol
-
A little bustier than I like to be....gained a few pounds lately. Thanks for noticing :P ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Ooops!....I certainly can't be accused of that ::) :P...Caz will love my slip...a long standing private joke between the two of us ;D ;D ;D
Carol
-
Yeah, yeah, we know ;) ;D
-
Trust me China, Carol is always "busty"!! ;D ;D ;D
Caz
PS Can you believe that "busty" was originally a typo Carol made in an email to me probably about two years ago and we are still keeping the joke going today. Yep, we are easily amused!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Yep..""Small things" and all that :P ;D ;D ;D ;D
Carol
-
Is this the same lady and could you please give a guess at the date....the back is plain...please feel free to manipulate if you so wish :D
Thanks.
Carol
-
Yes.
I imagine it was taken at the same time as the other one - backdrop is identical just the rustic stile added as she is posing in her outdoor uniform.

I'm wondering if the photo was applied over another photo as the photo border is way off from the border frame?, or was that just the workmanship in those days ?.., tommy
-
My thoughts too Jan...thanks for your input...wasn't sure if they could be sisters...I think you're right.
Yes Tommy...I thought it was a very sloppy finish ::)
Carol
-
a touchup and I had to fix that frame..lol..she deserved it!..,I have a 1.98MB file also on this.if you want it let me know.., tommy
-
and the other photo..I have a 1.56MB on this photo also.., tommy
-
Really lovely Tommy....you have given a fresh look 8)
Thanks for taking the time...these are big enough to print...but thanks for the offer ;)
Carol

That's lovely Iria....I like it...it's so natural...Thnk you for spending time on it...Don't you just love the instrument hanging from her waistband :D

I love this photo and the fact that it's local to me. I recently bought a nurses chatelaine from the car boot sale at Walton Street in Hull. The man selling it thought it was for fishermen!
Do you know where she worked? I was delighted when I was having my son in April at the Hull Women's and Childrens hospital to see a big permanent display of photos relating to the old hospital in the lobby (took my mind off the agony for a few mins! :D )
I'd say 1906-1910 at the latest, I have a similar uniform in my collection and it's from 1906.

Taken on the same day - her hairstyle is identical on both photos.

Hi Katie...No I'm afraid I don't know where she worked...I love them both and they are from an album found in an attic in Newland Avenue and it was given to me...I am working through the album and putting them in date order in an attempt to find some clues as to which Family they belong to but have little to go on at the moment :-\
Instinct tells me that these were taken some time apart....the first being when she qualified and the second a short time later...although they were clearly taken in the same studio...her face looks fuller in the second photo as shown by Mike's helpful juxtopositon of the head shots...Thanks Mike.
Thanks for your interest.

Her face does look fuller but I wondered whether that was a combination of a different expression on her face and catching the light differently. It's just that her hair looks so exactly the same on both photos - same little highlights, same locks, everything. If it was taken on a different day, she must be a very organised person.

Yes my thoughts exactly :)

Hi Carol,
I'll have a look next time I'm at the hospital, but I think the uniform is the same as those worn at the old infirmary (where the prospect centre is I think?) Apart from the big London hospitals most nurses wore a similar uniform.
Sadly, 65 Beverley Road where the photographer was, is now Auto Save. :-\

Hi Carol I had a look at the 1901 census and Robert Fugill is shown as a 32 year old Photographer in Yorkshire. He was not listed in 1891 nor 1911. This might narrow the dates.

Thanks for that Ken...very helpful 8)
