A sepia on Sunday

Here's a photo of my mum when she was about 4 or 5 years old, and of
her sister too. The original is lighter in tone than what you see here.
It was taken by a Liverpool photographer in about 1918-19, I reckon.

Their father died of throat cancer in 1926, leaving the family destitute,
but subsequently the girls won scholarships to attend the girl's grammar
schools and Liverpool University too, and later got work as teachers.
