Looks like a fun kindergarten class - toy animals, shuttlecock and a pet dog too!

The address over on the rh corner provides a few clues...jus googling around, I notice there's a 28 Collins Rd, Southsea, in Hampshire... homepage.ntlworld.com/stephen.pomeroy/local/schools.pdf (see p.24...warning largish document) suggests we might be looking at Miss Emily Capon's private school which was evidently located at this address in 1915...maybe this is a pic of Miss Emily and her charges! OK, how did this pic end up in Sam Hood's collection...that might be an interesting story! Scenes from Childhood! or maybe the cast of Pooh Bear (the silent movie). Beautiful!

Nancy Bavin ? - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16721709

"Miss Nancy Bavin was in orange and white printed chiffon with a natural-toned baku hat. ... "

Whoever it is, she looks fabulous!

beachcomber australia This is not as clear as the others, if only they images were in colour! It does say she was in a 'printed chiffon' dress, and this one doesn't appear to be printed. We were thinking this one might be her: bit.ly/LDg8Nl

Deetje Andriesse you look terrific. I googled the name to find several references in the fashion and social pages of 1930s Sydney. Somewhere out there there will be relatives and friends who will love to see this photo.
pellethepoet said:
beachcomber australia Yes, there are rather a lot aren't there? If this is her, it is of special significance because it is such an early portrait. The other numerous (but poor quality) photos that appear in the society pages are from the mid-late 30's. I think these newspaper articles on Deetje Andriesse are of particular interest -

In 1935 she was photographed by Harold Cazneaux. The photo appeared in the February issue of The Home magazine - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/55537947

In April 1937 she was photographed at work in her new studio in the Victoria Arcade (somebody tell agrippinamaior!). She had just returned from Europe, where she had studied leather-work for 2 years - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17363797

In 1938 Thea Proctor painted her portrait - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17538248, which was exhibited at the Macquarie Galleries in November - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17540382

Also, it would appear she immigrated to Australia in 1922 with her parents and a brother - mariners.records.nsw.gov.au/1922/09/032hou.htm

beachcomber australia pellethepoet She does look lovely. She was known in Sydney's art circles, but as you say pellethepoet, there are no earlier images of her except this, which is not very clear: nla.gov.au/nla.news-article16808372

This one, nla.gov.au/nla.news-article40994836, is clear, but it doesn't look much like her. The description we included above from the newspaper report of the JAVA event seems similar to this woman's clothing, however, it is difficult to say for sure that it is her.
