SHARKEY COLLECTION - ELDERLY WOMAN

« Prev Item Next Item »

c. 1925

Overview

B/W Print. An elderly woman in a light, long-waisted, loose-fitting, long-sleeved frock is standing on a brick pathway. She appears to be wearing a velvet band around her neck and to be holding gloves. On her head is a hat with upturned, patterned brim. Garden, gate and buildings are visible in the background. Written in pencil on the rear is [with Mother's love].

Historical information

Background seems to indicate that this scene is not in WA? The image is most likely of Mrs Ray (Mother of Florence Edith Sharkey and Mother in Law of Raymond Sharkey) at her home in Victoria.
