Pardon the James Joyce reference. Another photo of the grandmother I’ve only heard vague stories about from my father, who was six when she died. I love everything about this photo – the pince-nez, her choker necklaces combined with the pendant, and the way she posed. Original scan behind the cut.
Looks like she was VERY well dressed. And probably was very strict too!
She had twelve children in twenty two years, strict and BUSY!
