  I am doubtful that this is actually 1913

  Where are the experts on dating photos of Queen Mary when you need them ?

  It looks more like the 40's or 50's

  Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Mich Aussie-Pete 4 I seriously doubt that this was taken in 1913 as well. The picture of the monarch looks to me like the late King George VI (ie the current Queen's father); and the girls aren't in school uniform. Could it be a party of migrant or refugee children, recently arrived from Europe at the end of World War II and Campsie Public School was being used as 'processing' (not the best word I know) centre of some kind? Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Can we get a clearer picture of the King? That should date it more clearly. (Footnote: we used desks like these in the 1950s - but that may not be a lead of course, we all thought they looked pretty old then!)

  It looks like queen mary to me. I would estimate 1920's.
