This is my Nanny, Clara taken around 1914, we think this may have been taken on or soon after her wedding day to my Grandfather John Ward as we have a photo of him sitting in the same chair and surroundings and both have flowers on their lapels, obviously taken on the same day.If this is right it would make her 20 yrs old. I love this photo of her.

The photographer has deliberately arranged the picture to give prominence to her left hand and display the ring. Getting a magnifier onto it might confirm this, but I imagine it is an engagement ring, since a wedding portrait picture would more likely have the two of them together.
