[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 204334, member: 44"]Ahhh, thank you, Davey. Have now looked around at photographs by Mayall. He certainly was involved with the rich and famous.

Though at that time picture taking was serious business (important day in ones life and a long laborious task) resulting in very very few photos of smiling people. I looked at a few famous British women authors/poets finding none similar to this woman: Doesn't look like any of the Bronte sisters accept a slight possibility of Charlotte. Jane Austen, too early for this era photograph. Doesn't look like George Eliot (Mary Evans). Doesn't look like Jean Ingelow. Can't find an early pic of Anna H. Leonowens of [I]Anna & the King of Siam[/I] fame. That's it, I shot my wade. --- Susan[/QUOTE]
