Encountering the Archive

      
My Great Grandmother Annie Vint c1880, posing in a photographic studio in Manchester.
From a very young age this image was iconic to me. I viewed in on several occassions throughout my life with my Grandmother. On special occassions, I was also given the responsibility of viewing it alone. This was solely my only frame of reference for this woman and so this image has intrigued me ever since. From discussion with family members, it is also the one with the most memories and stories attached to it.
