I found a few portraits of Princess Mary as a child and a young woman before 1800 and couldn't find the picture you mentioned, but I'll google the Fraser book. I wonder if there are any other women who lived as long and were both painted and photographed. Sort of fascinating. But then, I was born before the fax machine....karen hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757839385575864106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-89746443346454973372009-03-07T17:59:00.000-05:002009-03-07T17:59:00.000-05:00You're right; Mary, daughter of George III, had po...You're right; Mary, daughter of George III, had portraits done when she was young, and then had a photograph done with Queen Victoria and family when she was older. They're in the paperback edition of "Princesses" by Flora Fraser.

As I recall, she was older than the hills and had a very close bonnet on.

Can you think of any 18th century figure whose portrait was painted in the 18th century but who survived long enough to have a photograph taken in the mid 19th century?karen hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757839385575864106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-2477082877321598952009-03-04T08:31:00.000-05:002009-03-04T08:31:00.000-05:00I'm a trifle jealous of your good fortune to be tr...I'm a trifle jealous of your good fortune to be traveling to the metropolis.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870791842615196439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-55224375380076652492009-03-04T03:45:00.000-05:002009-03-04T03:45:00.000-05:00Post ScriptI must tell you my daughter's name is G...Post Script<BR/>I must tell you my daughter's name is Georgiana!
