Love seeing this.

 

When we purchased our first old Victorian house in London many years ago we too found in basement an old kind of Dr’s bag filled with rusty looking medical tools.

 

Later found out it was an ‘early abortion kit’!  


 

 

That was a very interesting find! @dulwich  wow.


@dulwich That's amazing!

Beautiful picture.  The dress appears to be from 1900 to 1920.

@ECBG @SilleeMee.  When we discovered this Drs bag we took it to museum who then told us what it was.  Made me feel quite sad realizing what it was but we donated to museum who were happy to receive it.

@dulwich I can guess just how you may have felt.  It's sad, but they would have been thrown out on the street in that day if someone did come home pregnant trying to escape a toxic home life. 

How desperately sad when today we are in such more control of our destany and empowered by our education.

My first impression:  A model posing for a photo shoot against an old run down backdrop.  Flower basket and RCA looking dog used as props.  

 

I'd frame and hang this one.  It's beautiful.  


My thoughts too.   Looks like some kind of professional model.

There are what looks like two butterflies on the wall, above her head. The more I look at the image I think it might not be a photo but a painting. Maybe only part of larger one.

@SilleeMee 

I think you're right! The real giveaway is the fake crack in the wall above her and when you pull in close on the dog

What I think it is ...is a photo taken of an actual painting.

Re: This was found in an old London house

This picture has a compelling appeal. The pretty lady is perfectly dressed and styled, but looks sad. May be that’s a pose.
