Because she is being posh  :D

Could she be carrying her gloves Paula?

I can see her ring clearly!  This looks like a wedding picture to me!  Oh whoops I have just read the post and I was only guessing!

That would explain the gloves Paula!

Hi DLG images.

Thanks very much for your restore, much appreciated.

It's really good to see how much better these old photo's can be made to look.

Cheers and thanks again

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for the restore, it's lovely.

It appears really fresh & I'm always surprised at how small details suddenly seem to spring to life.

Although this couple are my husband's Grandparents, I love this photo so I very much appreciate your time.

Cheers

Barbara.

Hi Jim, Paula Too & Rabbit,

Thank you all for your comments.

We have always surmised that this photo was taken at the time of the Grandparents marriage but it's good to have the opinion of others.

I really love this photo, they look happy and confident somehow, with life in front of them.

Grandad went on to complete a full Army career and they brought up a large family, which couldn't have been easy in those days.

I always like to keep the appearance of the old photograph mount and work on the image itself to tidy it up. The photograph itself is a historic document  ...  :)
Great photo.
At the same time this was taken my great grandfather was fighting on the North West Frontier of India .... where we are fighting today ! ! Eventually died of cholera and is buried out their in the hills of Kohat.

Hello Tony,

Thanks very much for the restore and frame.

It looks super and I'm glad that you also think  it's a great photo - as I do.

I was interested to read about your Gt Grandad, but it's sad to think he's buried so far from home though.

Once again, thanks so much for your work

Cheers

Barbara.

Sorry I have no idea if I have his colours right, just...when in doubt go for red.

Lovely picture though.

Am I the only one who thinks her bottom button looks a bit tight?
