Cool, looks like I thought it would. I've been to Egypt, but not Alexandria, and mention of it never fails to bring to mind Constantine Cavafy, Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet and André Aciman's Out of Egypt. One day I'll get there.Originally Posted by jnantz

One of my grandmothers, around 1908 I think. I just love this portrait.
That's a great one, Peter!

might want to get there sooner rather than later! the current 110 year later world turmoil situation might be a similar limerick with a similar ending ...
Maternal great-grandmother and grandmother in late 1890-something, I think.
This counts as a portrait too. I've got a relative in there somewhere...
Thomas Staniland Marble and Granite Works, Ohio, late 1800s
Derwin and Sadie Van Der Weele (my grandmother).
And direct from the scanner:
