Carol, Steve and Bill - you have unearthed so much detail from this very faded photograph. Your talents are extraordinary. Thank you so much.

Do you think that some of the clothing might have been studio props? e.g. cloak/parchment?

I think the clothes would have been her own.

I tried to post this alternative colour...(which I prefer)... earlier without success.

Thank you Carol. She married in 1910; I imagine that the photo was taken shortly afterwards; 1919-1920. I can't imagine what the scroll is - unless she's afraid to let go of the Certificate of marriage!!

Thanks for your restorations - they are wonderful. Ita

You're welcome...I've heard it said that people used items of literature in photos as a sign of literacy.
