Found Photos? Lost ancestors?

Alison COOPER

Here is an old photo which came with information on the reverse. Is she one of your relatives?

Back

This lady looks quite formidable. No jewellery and we can't see much of her clothes.

DATE: Given as January 1894.

Photographer: Hartley Bros, The Studio, 2 South Road, Waterloo, Nr. Liverpool.
Card: Cabinet card. Quite a restrained back for the 1890s compared to most of the examples on Roger Vaughan's dating CDV photographs from the designs on the back. Roger also explains why photographers were using Art Equipment as a motif at this time.
Fashion: Some sort of summer dress with a low neck and large sleeves.
