This is a really beautiful portrait of three very fine ladies; they must have been real head-turners. I see a likeness with the other portrait in the studio, the one on the right of the picture?
Unfortunatley I wasn t told the year or where this pic was taken but I could find out.......this picture Pat has had in her collection for a number of years...thats all I know until I find out more...leave it with me..
I am not all that up on dresses and history, but seems to me this is late Victorian, 1890-1900, and so they would be in the 1880/1890 census records. They are probably age 16 to 20.
