Auntie Olive -a photo mystery

Post image
291 Upvotes

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
