To me, it looks Edwardian to early 1910s.

Here's a small one that is probably similar to the original.  It reminds me of those individual school photos.

A smudge here and there
Still looks old, but a bit better

That's a really lovely one.

I like that a lot, really natural.

I mentioned earlier about it being Edwardian. It can't be Maya as she was born in 1878 and died in 1899. She looks to be about 8 or 9 I think.

I thought that you didn't use colour, Peter - fun, interesting and different  :D

The intro pic on the latest PSCC version 24.2 is worth looking at. I can't put it up as it's copyright.

No colouring on my behalf, Gadget; just blended a couple of filters on PSE: Old Paper and Old Tint. ;)

I believe this is a photo of my great grandfather's sister Myra, who was born in 1878 but died in 1899.  My great grandfather was very close to her, which would possibly account for it being in an old wallet of his.


Are you sure that you have the right person, this photo of her looks to be Edwardian. Is there any information on the photo, any photographer's name to date it more accurately? Are we seeing all the photograph, or is there more of it?

I agree with Carol (see my reply #18)

I have a photo of my mother in 1913 (aged 4)  with hair just like that and wearing a smock like that. She was the youngest daughter  (oldest was b. 1895) .  I don't think even 'pass me downs' would account for such a gap
