Amazing picture. With the exposure times that were necessary in those days, how was this done? I suspect that in practice the swing was hanging straight down, vertical, and that the dress and her scarf were arranged in clever ways, in order to give this impression of movement. And that the background also was turned, accordingly. Extremely clever, extremely creative, and well thought out. Anybody that knows the details, and can confirm my theory? Alternatively, I realize I do not know all technical details about 1890 - photography, and did the technology at that time make possible action shots like this one? Brgds IH

Yes congrats on title:)
Bernard Healy said:
Myers was a Bachelor Accountant of Balham in London. His father was Modestus(!!!) Courtney Myers, Gentleman. Downey was a Spinster of Newtown, Waterford, daughter of Edmund Downey, Pressman. The priest was William O'Donnell PP. Witnesses: William E Downey, Elizabeth Downey & Kathleen M Hand. Do those girls look too young to be the official witnesses, and why are three witnesses listed rather than the usual two?
Bernard Healy said:
A quick Google search of "Courtney Myers" suggests that those of you with access to Geneology & Newspaper websites will be able to track this family to London.
