[QUOTE="Miscstuff, post: 313100, member: 1331"]Now I know that's somewhat sexist to assume only ladies know about nappies but lets face it when it comes to cleaning up the unmentionables in the nappy, husbands quite often suddenly discover the lawn needs mowing at midnight etc. Anyway got this curved glass framed image of a baby something or other (he/she/it) and I figure the only clues as to age are the frame construction and the kids nappy. At first I thought the nappy had an elastic hem but I think this is pre-elastic and the hem is just a frilly one. The frame is constructed of eight pieces of wood and appears to have stuck on adornments that might be plaster but not sure. The top of the kids head seems to have had some ugly restoration at some stage. I would love this to be pre 1901 but proving it is difficult. It is 63cm wide and 43cm high with the tinted (?) photo?/print? 50.5cm wide and 30cm high. Any ideas as to dating?
