<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Batman_2000, post: 10008646, member: 481&quot;][USER=8267]@2manybooks[/USER] I’m extremely grateful to you for sharing this information! To my eye, and looking at the image directly, the uncoloured areas appear as a faded photographic image. At least that’s what I assumed earlier when the frame was off.</p><p><br /></p><p>I now recognise the bleed edge as watercolour since I’ve dabbled a little myself, but it’s great to have that confirmed. The colours must have been so vibrant when the image was new and it probably looked very magical at the time! The detail in the dress is impressive to me, and the face and hands well painted to my inexpert eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m still searching for the name in the records, hoping to find another image of the same lady, or at least some of her history (fingers crossed). No luck yet but I don’t give up easily.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw I found the photograph in a charity shop. I’m planning to go back tomorrow to ask if there were other items donated at the same time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
