Hi everyone,

So here is the back of the photograph,

Unfortunately my mum said the little tab thing on the left is stuck down so can't lift it up.

I think it is an Edwardian photo and also think the lady is in her fifties.
I love that chair !

Agree with Edwardian- pre WW1. The skirt is too long for much later unless she's wearing old clothing.

Only that it dates to post 1902 when the divided back postcard was introduced in the UK, unfortunately the absence of a stamp box makes it harder to be more precise.

When we visited French friends in the South of France some 10 years ago, I saw it in their garage and admired it, they said I could have it as they didn't have room for it. We were able to bring back to the UK in our tourer. My Daughter has her eye on it  ;D

Anyone like to comment on the crest and the numbers 772 on her scarf/necktie - police? matron? prison governess? what institution?
