Title: Completed with thanks - old photo for date and clean of Edith
Post by: Rapunzel on Sunday 27 April 14 16:47 BST (UK)
Hi everyone

Edith needs a clean and tidy please. Some gentle colour might be nice too??

Could I also ask China and or Jim for a date - I'm hoping her dress and hairstyle are helpful. The reverse is plain brown card, no round edges.

Thanks
Rapunzel   :) :)

Looks like Edwardian era fashion to me...

1902 - 1914?

Romilly.

Little too wide a date window but Romilly is right :) Around 1905-1910, and I'm leaning toward the latter bit. Wonderful photo!

Cheers,
China

Thanks to everybody for your work and comments on this photo: Romilly and China for dating; Steve, Tommy, Pat, and Irene for your TLC - I love all versions!
Tommy I think you're right about her wearing white gloves. I could imagine her hands were workworn and the wearing of gloves was to hide this - they are not exactly 'delicate' looking hands are they?
I'm also glad that so many of you like the photos I post.
Sarah, I am not sure that I want to give names for posts I make.

The long silence from me was because I've been 'handicapped' for months as I fell and broke my wrists (ended up with OP and Titan plates and screws in them) and even with loads of Ergotherapy and Physio it has taken until recently to be able to work on my computer without difficulty. The only good thing was that there wasn't much pain.and I have full mobility once again.

Hello Rapunzel......My contribution.

I have noticed you have closed this posting already...... its a bit brief as it takes others a little longer to restore/ colour and post.

Its nice to see your lovely photo's again and better still to here you have made a full recovery.

Carolyn  :)
