This young lady is almost certainly one of the Shailer daughters, probably Ada (see Pi 550). The swing on which she is seated was a common studio prop of the 19th century photographer. This photograph could be either Clara or Ada Shailer (daughters of the photographer), around this time, both daughters were photographed on swings. This photograph is in the album of Mrs F. Whitelock.
