Hi all, I have this lovely 1933 Confirmation picture of a pretty young lady. Is there possibly a market for it? I don't want to list something that should not be listed or in bad taste.

Are you sure that it is a confirmation picture? Could it be a bridal picture? I thought that the girl's were usually younger at confirmation.

Amber, I think you are right. I enlarged the pic and she looks too old for confirmation but young enuf to be a bride.

The thing that made me think of a bride is that the outfit is almost the exact same one my mother wore in 1941.

I've sold several confirmation real photo postcards - here is one I have listed now. It looks like one sister is celebrating first communion and the other confirmation:

Well, I thought bride at first but the rosary threw me. She is quite pretty and I was thinking a little older also. Thank you for all the input, you are great...as usual.

I may be wrong, but I think the shoes and all the floral decorations are more suggestive of a bride. It could have been taken in the church at the wedding.

Neglus, are you sure yours aren't Santa Lucia day girls?

I'd list it, I think, in Collectibles/Religions, etc.

Could be my mom's wedding photo in 1929. Same shoes ...
Pixi: Not St. Lucia. Lucia always has a wreath with candles and a red sash with the "nightgown" outfit.

Pixia spent a year in Sweden as an exchange student so there must be something in the photo that brings Sta Lucia to mind.
I Googled to find out about the candle and found that first communicants receive a candle so I went with that.(we're not Catholic)

Neglus: Perhaps. This is Lucia:

Should bring back memories ... it did for me (spent my first 25 years in Sweden).

Could the bride be a young lady about to enter a religious order? Some orders held (and may still, for all I know) "weddings" for their novitiates as part of their final vows; that would explain the rosary. Can't say I've ever seen a wedding photo with the bride holding a rosary.
