Notes

"Ellen Hughes, 1841-1922. (My mother when about 17)
Lynes 11-7-60"

"Green, photographer, ... Swanswell Pool, (White) Street, Coventry, ... and Works of Art accurately copied."

Richard Vallance Green (1833-1907) first advertized in 1862. The preserver indicates a date after 1860 as well, so it's possible the information on the back is wrong. Ellen would've been 21 in 1862, Green would've been 29.

Green advertized that black dress was the most favourable, and children were photographed "only in the morning".
