This little lady is my maternal grandmother when she was a young woman. I remember her in later years in house dresses, and her hair twisted into a topknot pulled so tightly it made her eyebrows raise!
I wonder why our ancestors never smiled in these old photos..my mother once told me because it took so long for the photo to be taken that no one could hold a smile that long..wonder if its true An awesome postcard with such an amazing photo..I like it a lot.
Special so lovely!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful, nostalgic piece of art, Bev. I can see the family resemblance. What a lovely lady, topknot and all.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card, and how nice that it features your grandmother.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work. My grandmother had the same topknot. (And housedresses). Thanks for sharing your memories.

Timeless and classic
ReplyDeleteShe looks about as happy as my great grandmother but this is a lovely postcard.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stately image. And unfortunately no one ever smiled on a picture:)
