A beautiful young woman from an age long past. Who can she be? (click on it to enlarge, click here for hi-res image)
We know little of who, where, why, when, for any of these photos - but perhaps you do? You will notice that on some there are lines. These appear to be caused at certain degrees of enlargement when scanning the glass plates - possibly due to an interference pattern being set up by the silver halide crystals in the plate`s gelatine emulsion. If you slightly reduce the size of the image, they tend to lessen, or by using a slight "soften" filter in your photo software.

a vintage car - when brand new
activity on the Meadow, is this "ring-a-ring of roses, a pocketful of poses"?

a farm scene, or a scene with working donkeys
