Title: Catherine in New Zealand
Post by: Skelleyville on Monday 30 March 20 08:29 BST (UK)

Hi all, I am looking for a date for this photo. Catherine b 1876 travelled from Australia to South Africa 1902 and from there to New Zealand by 1907. No idea when this photo was taken. Thanks so much.

At a rough guess I would say 1914 give or take a Year or two.

Hello.

Are there any clues on the back of the photo ?  Quite a bit is known about some of the photographic establishments in New zealand. When they operated, the area they operated in etc.

Alan.

Thanks for the date, I was hoping it was about 1915 so that's close enough for me. Unfortunately I don't have the original so can't look for other clues. I know she was in Auckland 1911-1930 so I'm guessing it was taken there.
