This is an Ancestors Postcard - Lady Using a Garden Watering Can   VT179

 

This is a vintage black-and-white photographic postcard showing a woman watering a potted plant in a garden. Based on the fashion and photographic style, this image likely dates from the late 19th to early 20th century (circa 1890s–1910s). Here are a few observations:

Fashion and Context Clues:

  • Blouse: The woman is wearing a high-necked blouse with puffed sleeves, typical of the Edwardian or late Victorian era.

  • Skirt: Her long, dark skirt with volume and buttons at the back matches styles from around 1900–1910.

  • Hair: Her hairstyle, pulled back and softly styled, is also in line with Edwardian trends.

  • Watering Can: The metal watering can is utilitarian and typical of household gardening tools from the period.
