jessie may
« on: Monday 10 July 06 18:03 BST (UK) »
This is a picture of my mother Jessie May Mathias, taken when she was eight years old, that would be in 1909, if anyone wants to use the costume for dating purposes.
I have never known it anything other than a brown fading photo.
Could someone dust it down and spruce it up for me? It would be lovely to see it clearly.
Bless you in advance.

Little bit choaked up at the minute, guys.
Polly, David, Skippy, you all have your own way of doing things and the results are brilliant. I can't choose one that I like best, they are all so lovely. Thank you, very, very much, it's so lovely to see the photo properly at last.
