Hi Loord74. Thank you for this, very splendid!
Although I should have pointed out that the baby is John, my 2nd great uncle and might not want to be in a pink dress lol ;D
Still very good though and thank you.

Referring to the colours Loord used, it is an interesting fact that in the late 19th and early 20th century, the colours blue for a boy and pink for a girl were actually reversed. Pink was seen as a masculine colour being a lighter shade of red, common in military uniforms. Blue was a feminine colour because it was the colour worn by the Virgin Mary.
Anyway, here is my version of this lovely photo.
Pat
oops, I had left Mr Beveridge with a grey face.

1 from me.
Haven't removed all of the marks I'm afraid.
A bit late.

Hi Annette, yes I like that too. It gives the photo an emotional touch..
Sadly though, the little girl, Margaret was only 21 when she passed away.

It is worth noting that as recently as late 1800s and early last century boys were often dressed in pink it being considered a stronger and more masculine colour!! Girls were in the softer colour of blue.
So your rellie could well have been dressed in pink - though I suspect white is more likely - just noting!!
Wiggy ;) ;) ;D ;D

At last at last.
Sorry it took so long.

the baby is John, my 2nd great uncle
Beautiful pic!..
Could the pic have been taken for John's baptism/christening given what he's wearing?
