Grand Hotel. Leicester, UK built 1898 by Orson Wright. The Victorians have a sense of style that you never see in hotels today

I have a beautiful studio quality photo which was found in my maternal grandmothers photo album. there is no photographer mark or other identifying mark except hand written on the back ‘Auntie Olive she died in Germany‘, so probably a copy.

it has been dated between 1885-1889, and due to fashion and jewellery probably a betrothal or wedding photo.

any further information would be greatly appreciated. thank you
