One of my all-time favorite pictures, this was in a cache of tintypes that belonged to my great-grandmother, Vannie Harbour in TN. I fantasize that she is a relative of mine…but who? The date is ca. late 1890′s, early 1900′s. Her expression is so mystifying to me. How old do you all think she is?

This is certainly a very striking image. My guess is that she might be in her twenties.
I love photographs like this. I just happened by your site while hopping around. I think she’s somewhere between 19 and 22. Amazing photo…
She’s a beautiful young woman. I would wager she’s in her early twenties.
What a beautiful picture. she looks to be in her late teens early 20′s.
It’s a gorgeous picture. I would say her late teens.
How beautiful was she, and yet how sad was her expression. What her eyes must have seen, and what her life must have entailed.
She looks to me to be in her late teens. What a tiny waist and it looks like it would be difficult to breathe.
She is quite beautiful, indeed. I’d wager she’s between 18-22. I would really like to subscribe to your blog, but for some reason I don’t see the link to do so. Can you help?
