old picture in frame from Edwardian Era late 1800 to early 1900's
Very old photograph in a picture frame. Also a small photo of possibly the same lady as in large. Below is an expert opinion. The smaller photograph of the lady broken in half is what is referred to as a cabinet photo. They are portraits taken in photographic studios often of people before they embarked to come to Australia from England. The resulting photo is then mounted on thick cardboard. It is intended to be displayed inside a glass fronted parlour cabinet, hence the name cabinet photo.
