Peter the interesting thing about bathe photo could be where it was taken.

At first glance in a garden!

However is that false.

The grass looks real but is that a painted background? Maybe, maybe not the focal length or whatever of the camera making if appear a bit off.

It was almost taken outside in a garden by the sunshine on an umbrella and a ladies hair.

Whatever the photographer was a DAB hand.

A fantastic photo.

Such a shame the beautiful cabinet photos never have the names of the people.
Those ladies are obviously a well off family.

It’s very difficult to tell their ages. Back right the youngest I think, the oldest front left. But not a lot of difference in ages but you never know

Note the hair, very like an old photo of my grandmother Campbell.

The hair a sort of frizzy type thing! Normal or manufactured. You girls would know better that us men.

Are they sisters or sisters plus close cousins ?

Why was the photo taken a special occasion!

Michael what a difference the colour makes.

However they are not correct I feel. Sun brollies would tend to be white or cream type I’m would have thought.

However they are not Sun brollies they would be more fancy.

But the Colour brings the photo to let’s say life!

Well said Joseph.
I think we are all capable of analizing old photos as we've seen plenty over the years.

. There is no point having a photo if you do not think about the who, what and why fore’s of it.

That’s the whole point of a photo, otherwise why take them.

They are a discussion item and we are given the chance to see photos from years ago and comment and in doing so keep the memory of those in the photo alive.

It’s just like I have photos of family taken shortly after a child was born. It’s just like records the event.

I think that the lady sitting on the right hand side, front row, looks just like Gina McKee the actress.

Otherwise nice photo of ladies we will never know who they are but just nice to see photos from a bygone age.
