Got rid of the few scratches for you, looks like a studio posed photo to me.
I thought that myself Miriam but when the other half is attached there are an awful lot of young girls. My aunt always said it was a school but that is all I can remember. Jean.
And another one....Thank you - yes, I'm sure it was a studio photo. It looks very 'posed.'
Of course, it could be an unused publicity still from 'The House of Elliot'!!!!
You think its an early judo pic, the one on the right being "black belt", just a thought!!And another one....

I have heard that ladies in mourning sometimes wore white,Found among the photos of a relative who died recently. Has any one else got anything similar, and do you think it's from around the end of the First World War? Are the girls wearing their new Whitsun clothes, perhaps?
The dresses are beautiful. Although they could be sports gear, the court shoes would say no. I believe the lady on the right has what we used to call a "lazy eye" (not sure what the modern PC term is) and is a rare example of a photo with a feminine monocle. The lady on the left may have a brooch made of Jet which could also indicate mourning. My guess is c1915-1920.
