Date and colour for Marianne please.*COMPLETE* thank you

[Seoras]

Could someone give me a colour version of this please.Also perhaps hazard a guess at a date.I think I know not only the date but the time this girl was born but would like to see anyone's thoughts on it.

Hi George........Marianne looking ever so pretty amongst the lavender and the aroma must have been devine.

Hi George....children are hard to date...can we see the back please?

Here's a very interesting couple of photos of William Crooke's studio! How often do you get to see something like that?

He was there from 1883 to at least 1913 and maybe later.

Cheers,

Carolyn,your work never ceases to amaze me,a beautiful job,thank you very much indeed.

China,thanks for solving the puzzle of the photographer,I couldn't work the name out,thought there were two initials
As to the dates,they would work,she was born in 1882 in Edinburgh,her father was a doctor.The back alas is plain.Also thank you for the link to William Crooke's studio,as you say,it's not often we get to see that.

George.

You are welcome George it was a lovely photo to work on.

Hi Carolyn,she was the youngest of 5 children and I don't think they were short of cash.Around the time I think this was taken they employed a nurse,cook,two housemaids,a tablemaid and laundreymaid and lived in Buckingham Terrace,Edinburgh.

Hello George
My 1st. thought was 1880's.Furry things & lumps of concrete were very popular at this time especially furry things & children.
The large sash around her waist is a bit of a givaway for mid - late 1880's & the card design is also from this time.

Thank you very much Jim,that date works perfectly for me.The household info is from the 1891 census so this a few years before is a bullseye.

Another for you George.
