Sold this couple today to a woman who will use the frames for her son's wedding.
She will replace the current images with photos of the groom and bride.

It's a cool idea, but after 130 ish years, this couple will no longer be together.

And many many wipes of the front to remove decades of grime.

Whoever told him that was a good idea should probably be fired.

I long for the day when we stop hearing the word unprecedented in the news.

As your height & waist change, the length of your older trousers seems to magically increase.

Not being able to find that thing I thought I had in my Room of Requirement must mean that I need to buy another if I want to find it.

@BillieBun It's pretty good for 1870-1880 ish (based on her outfit)
I'll probably try and recast the missing pieces for both of them after the time-consuming dirt removal.
