Title: One for the fashion experts
Post by: mariok54 on April 20, 2015, 12:40:20 PM
I picked this up at an Auction as it came in the same Lot as something I really wanted, but am actually warming to it. It is a very nice, leather-bound travelling photo frame, which is generally in quite nice condition (if you ignore the cracked glass, and a bit of wear to the leather) ... but what I'm hoping some of you will be able to do, is pin it down to a decade or so, based upon the fashion (hair and clothes) ... (in case you're wondering it came with a silver gilt 1919 OBE)

Fashion ??  Well, that kind of leaves me out !!   But as to the pic,, I like it !!  Looks to be shortly before the turn of the century say around 1880 to 1900 !!  Give or take a few either way !! Some gent likely carried this pic of his wife or sweetheart with him as he traveled !!  Guess he didn`t have a smart phone !!  :D
