If you look at PM photos, all the deceased have their eyes open. Simple morticians glue makes it possible.
I just like to do photo restores.

Well you learn something new everyday on RC. I wondered if it might have been a prison image?

Probably not prison. Too well dressed for that. Same with asylum, even if it's just for TB or something, you wouldn't be that well dressed.

I don't see anything  to suggest a PM photo....her posture is self supporting with no sign of a posing stand, the hands are relaxed and her eyes are focussed.

Again, it's just a possibility. The head supporting is one of the things that does call it into question. It's still a possibility that would explain the overall setting and appearance. The piping to her left is also a bit of a twist to the puzzle as well. Makes it seem more like it's taken in a basement, storage or similar type area.

Do we know where the photo was taken?

Thanks Carol - just an unusual setting & slightly odd look.

Avondale, do we know where the photo was taken (if not exactly, perhaps country or region)?

Difficult to say for sure but most likely to be either East Sussex or Suffolk - came to me with other photos of family on my maternal side but could of course potentially be somewhere else in the UK.

Ah, ok. Trying to get an idea based on the architecture and all. I'd still have to go with it being in a basement or the storage area. The exposed piping just doesn't gel with it being in the main room of a house.  Just my 2 cents.
