A very beautiful woman....Love the button detail on her skirt, lovely Maxine.
Thankyou! Wish I could see her hands to see if she was married or not on this, but I think they tended not to show hands for some reason!
I love these photos..and isn't she striking..a moment in time.
Beautiful young woman. Nice to know she lived to be 98.
Thankyou henry7, she did have a long and happy life, and she died in her sleep, Bless her.
Lovely photo. I have saved the photo to zoom in. Not sure if I can see the edge of a wedding ring on her finger???

What a lovely picture to have, she looks stunning in that high neck Edwardian Dress. Every inch a Lady.
We once had a nice collection of family photo's from that period of my mothers family, sadly now lost.
