Hello Neil

Thank you for the info. on G.L. Robinson. The picture in question is of my
great aunt Lydia Sophia Salmon as a young woman, who was born in 1894 and
died of 'flu in 1918, hence my guess of 1912, which seems to fit your dates
just right. I would like to know more about Arthur Bugg and when he was
active..

All the best
Dudley
