<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 313188, member: 5833"]My first impression was that the panties were part of a set with the little dress or whatever it is. This is a formal (yes, maybe photography studio) portrait, so s/he would be wearing baby best. In looking again at the enlarged pic, the leg holes look a bit gathered/ruched, but not tight around the leg. Hard to be sure, looks to me as though the edge of the leg hole & the edge of what I have been calling the bib are finished the same way. Could be a bit of diaper showing past the the leg hole on the back of the thigh?</p><p><br /></p><p>Stephen's real concern is the age of the frame. I'm not so sure the picture has anything reliable to say about it. See the eye screws for the picture wire have been replaced, so any clue there gone. The wire itself looks different from what I see now. The card used to back the picture may offer info. Ditto with the little nails. And of course the shape & decoration. Stephen, think you have the wrong eyes looking at this. You need to post it in a way that will get notice from the folks who know hardware, woodworking & picture frames. It was a really interesting idea to consider the nappies as a clue to age of the frame, not getting us anywhere though. The other thing is the baby clothes. We can't see much, those who know more about apparel may still be able to make something of them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":writer:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie92" alt=":turtle:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
