At the time it was really difficult to take a good picture with a cat and a child. Great work.

What a great photo - cats are notoriously hard to take photos of. I wonder if the photographer at the time needed to take more than one?

Hulda Helene Lundager (b.1888), was one of six daughters of the photographer Jens Hansen Lundager (1853-1930).

Later in life (1913) Hulda was a music teacher, and then (1922) a nurse at General Hospital, East Street, Ipswich. [1]  

There's another photo of Hulda with her mom in the State Library of Queensland’s collection on Flickr:

                                                         
 

i love that the cat and the girl have identical expressions, LOL

Nicely spotted @fidgetblogs, their mouths are turned down in exactly the same way! It's fantastic!

Now featured on this Mother's Day traincase:

Hi Penny. That is a fantastic way to use one of our images.
