You called? ;D

I have to say I've never seen anything like that book - except for The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and it ain't that  :)  Intriguing!

That's the one I was thinking of !   My kids loved it .... but it was 1970's, not Edwardian !

Do we have any old book experts ?

Hi Mike.......A restored colour version as per our recent discussion.

A beautiful photo I must say and I hope I have done it justice.

Is everyone certain those are holes at the top of the pages? Could it be phases of the moon? Could it be a (child's?)garden/audubon type of book?

I'm not certain they're holes, but I'm pretty sure.  It looks like they're on the last page of the book which has printed circles where they could be seen through the holes if the book were shut.

Apologies for reviving one of my old threads but I may have found out who these people are. I have a potential Marguerite Mary Hulse, born 1907. Given that this photo was dated 1912-1914, could the little girl, Rita, be in the 5- 7 year old age bracket?
