Date for photo of Eileen Guest
« on: Tuesday 06 January 15 00:26 GMT (UK) »
I have this copy of a photo of my grandmother Emilie Eileen Guest, born in Richmond, Victoria, Australia in 1888. I would like help in determining the approximate date as there is no information with the photo. Thank you

What a beautiful photo you have there! I'm sure some knowledgeable people will be by soon to date this for you.  For my uneducated 2 cents worth, I'm thinking Eileen looks to be in her late teens, so maybe sometime around 1906.

I agree - have a very similar photo of my grandmother at about the same age.

I'm going to speak for all restorers I think and say can we pretty please have a play with your beautiful photo?  It's crying out to be restored, coloured, framed etc etc   ;D ;D

Yes it is, that's exactly why it would be a beautiful pic to "play" with just for the fun of it.  :)
