Josephine’s
Formal Photos & Portraits

The following is a collection of formal photos and portraits taken of Josephine, beginning with her first portrait.  Apart from her portrait, the first two rows are all CDVs.  We have attempted to date them and organise them in chronological order.  We often know where but not when a portrait was made.

We will be adding more, particularly later ones.
