My Stent Lady For dating please
« on: Thursday 27 October 16 04:46 BST (UK) »
It would be appreciated if I could get an approximate date for this photo, and maybe also the age of the lady, who I believe is either my great or great great grandmother.

Regards
Cathryn

Hi Cathryn...I would guess at late Edwardian or up to the war years and I think she looks to be in her late 20s early 30s. Is it a postcard and is there anything on the back?

Unlikely to see a woman dressed like this much before WW1. So I would suggest 1912-19.

Thank you for the replies, and especially for the clean up!

It is a postcard but is fairly plain on the back - if you are looking at it in landscape format, it says "POST CARD" at the top, there is a thin line going down the middle and on the left it has "CORRESPONDENCE" and on the right "ADDRESS".  It doesn't look as though anything was ever written on it.

Going on the dating and age range given it's definitely not my great great grandmother but most likely my great grandmother Edith Mabel who was born in 1880.

Regards, Cathryn

Hi Catherine....there is a photographer's name in the right hand corner but I couldn't make it out.

Thank you for that other restoration. 
Carol - I hadn't realised there was a photographer's name - it's not visible on the photo itself, although I think when rubbing a finger gently in that area there is some slight embossing that can be felt.  I'll have to see if I can enhance it any further and work out who it was.
