Title: Grandmother Susan
Post by: Jill_Cov on Sunday 05 October 14 00:00 BST (UK)

Hi  :)

If anyone has time, my father would really like a colour version of this photo of his grandmother Susan. It looks to be quite a formal picture, not sure where it was taken. Maybe at a workplace. I have no idea how old she is in the photo. I'm not too great with ages. She was aged 26/27 in 1897, which is when she got married and she is wearing a wedding ring in the photo so it is after 1897. She died in 1950 aged 79.

Thank you

1920's & before late decade when hemlines became longer.
The Marcel wave was a very popular hairstyle at the time.
