@JayneShrimpton thanks for the RT Jayne. Actually it's not an ambro, just a straight negative I have also made an inverted digital copy of. in reply to JayneShrimpton #
@JayneShrimpton did you spot what I think may be her coat on the chair? As a photographer, I thought it was odd to leave it in frame. in reply to JayneShrimpton #
@AWMemorial I know what you mean, but in this case there's an extra something I think not knowing who he is. Maybe it's best as a mystery? in reply to AWMemorial #
@JayneShrimpton sadly I didn't. A challenge to all – can anyone out there explain the prevalence of women in early portraits? in reply to JayneShrimpton #
