Two mystery children with a Mandolin - date & repair please

[JJ Girl]

Hi,

Two more photos (the last two I promise), part of a group I received yesterday.  We know what family branch they belong to, but not who they are exactly.  I wonder if someone would be kind enough to date them for me.

I would also be grateful for a repair (& perhaps a colour).

Thank you very much........JJ Girl

Yvonne, thank you so much, what a beautiful job you've done.  I really appreciate your time.  She looks beautiful - any idea when the photo might have been taken??

Thanks again.......JJ Girl

You're very welcome JJ Girl, 

I'm not too good on dates, but maybe early 1900's,
the experts won't be long with closer dates,

Thanks Yvonne, I posted my last thank you before the "boy" appeared - he looks great too...

I do love a good mystery!!

Maybe coming in to this a bit late but what sort of card/paper are the originals printed on? Are there any markings etc?

I wouldn't be comfortable with early 1900's on initial viewing. I could be wrong but on the limited information I would be leaning towards late 1800's.
