Large, vintage, oval-shaped photo of a Victorian lady on board by Wright & Co. Oldham/Blackburn
£15.00
Description: An adorable antique studio portrait photograph of a Victorian Lady with a fabulous head of hair. The portrait is mounted in an oval shape and bears the studio signature of Wright & Co of 6 Union Street, Oldham/40 Preston New Road, Blackburn. I would date this to be around 1890. The board measures approximately 36cm x 25cm and has a 2cm tear to one of the edges (not overly visible from the front).
Fictional Biography: I call this lady "Great Aunt Viola", she has a stern look and a direct gaze that follows you around the room disapprovingly! During her youth, she sang and danced in a vaudeville act, till a unicycling accident with a rogue clown ended her stage career early. She lived her life with a fear of clowns and a bitter disappointment for a life that could have been.
Photographer: Wright & Co of 6 Union Street, Oldham/40 Preston New Road, Blackburn
