[QUOTE="Sedona, post: 12017410, member: 4438"]Hello, everyone. This is the only known photograph (my photo of a framed and matted photo) of my great-grandmother. She died when my grandmother was a very small child, so I don’t have her date of birth. Based on my grandmother’s birthday, my best guess is that this photograph was taken in approximately 1900-1910. It is my understanding that this was taken before she married my great-grandfather. It is believed that this photograph was taken in New Jersey, even though she is European (she came out to the U.S. briefly, then returned home). So, I don’t know if her clothes are American or European. Can anyone narrow the date down more based on her dress style, shape of her blouse sleeves etc.? It looks as if she is holding a file folder; it doesn’t look like a purse to me. What is she holding? The seat back of the chair looks like wicker in a spot, with iron supports. I suppose that is a potted tall rose bush or similar plant next to her. Thank you! [ATTACH=full]551170[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
