This family photo is slightly trimmed on edges, usually to fit into the tight Victorian paper photo album sleeves. It does not affect the actual image in any way. Young Mrs. watson is beautiful, about 20 years old here. We have to say we are stumped on this photo, any help or correction appreciated, email Debra here. This is a beautiful old piece!

       Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
