Beautiful face from the past - ca. 1910 (Colour tinted)
A very skilled contact of mine on Flickr (oneredsf1) kindly agreed to do one of his wonderful colourisations for me. I then very cheekily tweaked his version a little myself, here is the end result. We suspect the young lady actually had lighter coloured hair, but i have always imagined it this way so that's the way i made it.
I found the original while going through a bag of my old letters in the loft. I originally smuggled the photograph out of a box of old photos at my Nan's house when I was very young, I remember thinking she had the most wonderful eyes!
To me, her eyes seem very alive, they seem to effortlessly bridge across all the years since the photo was originally taken. I think the photographer really knew how to capture a beautiful woman.
Sadly i have no idea who she was, but I fell in love with those wonderful eyes the very first time i saw this photograph and truth be told, I'm still in love with them now.
