Any clues from the outfit about the date of this picture?

The Edwardians went in for these elaborate lace collars on women's dresses.

See:

And so, - 1900's probably.

Do you know who she was?

Is it a family photo?

Yes, I'm reasonably sure that she is my Great Grandmother Helen Charlotte Hooton (1888-1968). The date really helped, as I wasn't quite sure whether this was her or her mother!  :) So Thanks again!

Around 1910 give or take a year or two.

Do you have the photo? Could we see an uncropped scan of the whole thing please including the back if there is any printing on it.

Cheers,
