Colour too if possible / Clean & dating for Grandma M please COMPLETE
« on: Monday 21 March 11 19:44 GMT (UK) »
I don't have any pictures of grandma as a young woman that are any clearer than this. Can it be helped please?

I originally just asked for a clean. Now that I look at it I'd love a coloured version and hope it's not to much to ask.

Also, can someone give me an idea of when it might have been take? She was born in 1910 and I've been told she was quite a fashionista - though fashions on the Canadian prairies may have been a bit behind those in style at the same time in the UK & Europe. I'm guessing the photo was taken about 1928, but I'm not expert on the fashions of the day. Thoughts?

TX to all as usual. Jan

Well China, based on the stories that does fit. She apparently lived a life that caused some raised eyebrows  :o, but I don't think she was bored.

Wow, what a stunner!  Just the outfit for a little stroll in the woods, eh?  :)

PS don't they have mosquitoes and other biting insects out there?

Is that FUR at the bottom of the frock?
