Victorian children hugging
This photo was taken between between January 1891 and January 1894. The little fellow on the right is a boy, but is the little one on the left a girl or a boy? Children of both genders wore long white dresses when they were little, so it can be difficult to determine sometimes.
Edwardian girl with straw hat
This photo was taken between February 1901 and December 1903.
Edwardian girl with book
This photo was taken between March 1905 and August 1906. I wish I could see what book she has!
Edwardian infant baby and mother
This photo was taken between December 1903 and March 1905.
Edwardian ballet girl
This photo was taken between December 1903 and March 1905. Super cute!
Smiling baby
This photo was taken between February 1901 and December 1903. Love a happy baby photo!
Three siblings
This photo was taken between February 1901 and December 1903. Actually, I don’t know if they’re siblings, or if she’s the mother of the two boys. They all look very young and her hairstyle seems more childlike, so that’s why I assumed. But maybe she’s just a very young mother?
Happy Edwardian child
This photo was taken between August 1905 and January 1909. Look at their little shoes! So cute!
Group of schoolgirls with bonnets
This was taken in the early 1900s, I think. Pretty sure those are their uniforms. Wow!
Two children sitting on a bench
Are they friends, are they siblings? So many questions about people in these vintage photos, and so few answers…
Boy with big straw hat
This photo was taken between February 1901 and December 1903. A big straw hat and a sailor suit!
Victorian child with hat
This photo was taken between February 1894 and February 1901.
Girl with lace shawl
This photo was taken between February 1894 and February 1901. Or maybe it’s a collar. I wish I knew more about historical fashion beyond sleeves and bustles.
Victorian girl with curled hair
This photo was taken between February 1894 and February 1901.
