This is an image of my great grandparents & I know that the photo was taken by the Wykeham Studios in either Balham or Streatham so I believe it dates the photo to no earlier than 1911-1913 but I'm thinking it is more likely to be 1920 - can anyone help with dating this?
Also I would like to request the services of the talented colourisation crew who were brilliant in bringing to life my image of my other grandparents.

Thank you - this really brings my great grandparents to 'life' - I love all the small details (my great grandmother's jewellery) - I hope you are pleased with the results, I certainly am!

Another cracker from you Pat - love the way your colourisation has brought the detail out in their hands & faces. Do you think the open magazine/paper is purely a prop & has no other significance?
Thanks again

Hi Keith, so pleased you like the photo. It does help to have a good photo and a decent scan. I love the photos,

Not disagreeing with you Carol, but wouldn't literacy be almost a given at that time in History? Just thinking.
It looks much later than 1913 to me - How old were these people when they died? - could help indicate date of photo.

Hi Wiggy
Edmund was born in 1851 & died in 1935
Hannah was born in 1855 & died in 1929
Married in 1883 & so Ruby Anniversary was 1923
-
I wonder if it could have been taken on their ruby Wedding anniversary then - or even later. Maybe? Hard to tell because her top looks like a cardigan the way it has been restored . . .
Could even be later.
Come in dating people!!

Well worth waiting for Carol - 2 lovely colour versions.
Love the way you have 'blinged' up Hannah's jewellery & the skin tones are so natural.
Thank you
Keith :D

My pleasure Keith :D

Hubby was a professional photographer with the M O D for 41 years - maybe that's why I appreciate the time and effort you put in to doing all those restores.
Cheers
