Is it possible for some to have a look at this pic please of Queen Victoria
« on: Wednesday 08 November 17 21:01 GMT (UK) »
I have no info on it other than its an old glass plate type pic, I have done a little restoration work on it to basically "colour" it in and make it easier to view

hoping for ideas regarding date range and fingers crossed someone might even know the subject?

My guess would be early 1890s but a better scan at a resolution of 300dpi and this would give more detail not only for viewing but for easier restoration.

Agree with Carol. Are you sure it is Queen Victoria?

Agree early 1890's. Doesn't look like the old queen.

That's what I thought, Jim.


Here's a pic of HM circa 1890s:

I wouldn't discount Queen Victoria just yet. Main thing is if anyone can sharpen the image. They're in a carriage, a big one.

I've tried to lighten it a little. The coachmen seem to be wearing turbans, possibly Sikh, so I would guess this could be taken in India,  Queen Victoria never visited India.

the queen vic reference was purely for my purposes of storing it on my laptop, it was really a tongue in cheek thing, although I hadn't totally dismissed the possibility it could have been her
