I love these two old photographs. They aren't brilliant technically (they're just snaps) but I love them nonetheless. I found them in a box of negatives belonging to my cousin Joan, who died aged 85 in 1998. From other photos in the box it's clear they were taken in 1918 or 1919. They seem much more modern than that, at least in part because of the natural and informal pose of the subject (I think both photos are of the same woman, captured in strikingly different moods). She seems pretty in a modern way, too, somehow.
She must have been a relation or a friend of the family. In the second photo she's sitting on the Richards' family boat. But we don't know who she was.
