<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 48212, member: 44&quot;]&gt;large shell on the floor lower right.&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>I hadn&#039;t noticed the shell. I can remember back in the 1940s of several homes of my grandparents friends - those of their age group, having a big conch shell laying around. I always thought it was a strange item for a living room because it never fitted in with the furnishings&#039; scheme; however, I thought the furnishings always looked way to busy.</p><p><br /></p><p>&gt;Also, the drapery on Mom&#039;s picture would have been black if she recently died.&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Agree on the color. If it had been like a year the color of the cloth could have progressed to white. The Victorian&#039;s did use white decorations, etc. at some funerals especial those for infants and children. Q. Vic requested a white funeral.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;She had also wanted a white funeral and so the gun carriage was pulled by eight white horses.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;color of cloth lightened as mourning went on, to grey, mauve and white.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&gt;I say it&#039;s just a family group of a trio of sisters. Mom and Dad (photos in back)&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Probably, though I think the woman in the chair is quite a bit older than the other 2. I think it is mother and 2 daughters. The large pic of the woman looks very much like the woman seated. They could be one and the same though the pic may be her at a younger age without so much facial aging. Hmmmm.... before the wear, tear and worrying of children!</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
