Rose Burley - help with dating & pose
« on: Monday 18 June 18 18:35 BST (UK) »
I am told this is a portrait of my great aunt Rose - can anyone help me with dating the image & I'm wondering if her downward gaze is giving a message?

Hi Keith, Here is my interpretation, I think she looks very wistful and as she is holding a red rose she is thinking about her boyfriend, perhaps he has gone to war. I don't think she is engaged as she would be showing her ring finger.

This is from the Edwardian era and I would agree that she is thinking of someone special to her. What beautiful photo. I am so envious of your collection Keith, I want to be in your family tree  ;D

The old romantic in me likes your interpretation of this photo - I was thinking along the same lines. Thank you so much for giving her colour - that is an unexpected bonus - you are kind Pat.

Thanks Carol - so could this be a photo for a soldier to take to war? I do realise am lucky to have so many great photos & even luckier to have had many restored/coloured by the talented people on RC  :D

She is beautiful.
A wonderful photograph.
I would place it between 1905 and 1910.

The rose theme may, of course, have nothing to do with matters of the heart, but simply relate to her name . Rose.

I know you didn't request a clean up Keith but I couldn't resist a light clean ...the beauty is in it's simplicity.

It is a lovely photo & thank you for making it even more beautiful Carol. I didn't ask for a restore or any colour as I thought it couldn't really be improved but you & Pat have proved me wrong. I have just found another image of her looking up - first time I have come across two different images from the same sitting.
Thanks again for these.
Keith
