Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / possible family member - help with dating please Edwards & Son Photo
« on: Friday 19 October 18 12:32 BST (UK)  »
This is a photo on a 'divided back' postcard & may be of a family member.

It would help if I could get an approx date of the photo & any views on the young lady's age are welcome - I am guessing 18/19?

On the reverse of the card it says 'To dear Edie - From May with love xxx'

Edward Bex operated a photography business from around 1905 until about 1920, at 20 New Street, Worthing, under the name of "Edwards & Son" - his blind stamp is in the bottom right hand corner

I am wondering if it may be a sweetheart photo for a WW1 soldier - is she holding 'forget me not flowers'?

Thanks for looking

Hi

I have come across a postcard sent from Worthing to France in 1898 but the message is in French.

I have tried to decipher the message as best I can & here is what I have so far:-

nous sommes restez un jours a Strassburg? et un jours a Bruscelles de la ? ? jours a Londres qui me plait pas du tout et maintenant ent nous sommes aux bord de la mer c'est tres jolie mes ? maitres sont tres gentilles avec mai et commence. vie je lai tres bien je me fait rien du ? mes amitie a maman et papa et ?olas et mai se (then I can't work out the rest)

It would be great if someone could check my version & also fill in any of the missing words.

Thanks in advance

This picture which includes my uncle who has a driver dates from 1938 - tricky but can someone see if they can remove the centre crease line & tone down white light band?

Any improvement would be great.
