Though her lips are thinner in the photo of the right I think the mouths are a match.  :)

I agree the two faces look very similar but the type of clothing being worn suggests to me they are not from the same generation.

Perhaps if some-one more experienced at determining the period of the clothing in each image would help a bit.

The first one is from the 1890s, possibly the first half. The second one looks as if it's post-WW1, maybe into the 1920s. Not really a lot to go on in the later one.

I'm sorry, but I don't think they're the same lady.  The one on the left has dark eyes, whereas the one on the right has light coloured eyes.

It's probably the different exposures of the original photos and the scans, Whipby  :)

I'm so sorry, but I still don't think they're the same person  :'(

The ears don't match - the lady on the left has quite a distinctive, sticky-out ear that's slightly turned over at the top, but the lady on the right has a flat ear with a large opening.

And if there are about 30 years between the pics, I honestly don't think the lady on the right is 30 years older than the one on the left.

The only similarity I see is that they're both stocky.

However, I'm no expert  ;D  ;D  ;D  and am sorry to go against the general consensus! Just my humble thoughts, for what they're worth 😂

I agree with Whipby about the ear and the 30-year age gap.

No doubt these two are closely related, but I'd say they're of different generations.

Not the same person. It's the right ear that's the give away.
