Light Clean & Date pretty please! COMPLETED THANK YOU!!
« on: Saturday 20 September 08 17:57 BST (UK) »
Hi all

I've been resisting putting this one on the forum, since there's really not much wrong with it, although a light clean wouldn't go amiss, please please!  However, after looking at it repeatedly and having this niggly feeling she looked like someone familiar, I haven't been able to put her away.  Then my daughter asked to have a look through the pictures and was amazed when she saw this one - she thought this was me!!  Initially very flattered (I'm nearly 40 and not in the least bit glam!!) I've since wondered if I should be pleased with this announcement, given the photo must be about 80 years old!!  I'd love a rough date on it if at all possible, there's nothing on the reverse of this card.  Thanks for your continuing hard work!

Oh I am very flattered, believe me, IgorStrav!!!  Whilst I can definitely acknowledge more than a passing resemblance (although of course, I am biased!) I am and never have been anywhere near as beautiful as this young lady - I'll be quite happy to say that I'm blessed to share some of her genes!  ;D

Those big sleeves got that size around 1897 also the style of card would suggest that
date.

Thank you Hippy and Terry, lovely clean for the lass ;D

Jim, thanks for the date clarification, I was expecting later (for no particular reason), so I'm pleasantly surprised.  :)
