Calling the MN History buffs! I have a small mystery - photos included

I know you’re out there - just wish I could remember some of your names from our previous chats! Tressialian … may be one?

Anyway, I’d love your help in finding out more about this young lady. She’s called Henrietta Stone and she posed for this photo when she was 20. Due to the style of her skirt, I’d hazard a guess that this photo was taken in 1860 ish - as the skirt is a full crinoline with a tighter bodice which was fashionable then

The photo was taken at The West Of London Photographic Company who were based at 194 Oxford Street, London.

I believe the name at the top of the photo (2nd pic) says Charlotte - so maybe she was the owner of the photo?

Any info anyone could locate would be really appreciated - I’m currently locked out of my ancestry account for some reason which is annoying

Hopefully photos will show up soon! Doesn’t she look incredible?

Ancestry has the above Harriet & Nathanian in the 1911 census with her aged 65 & him 67, having completed 44 years of marriage. He is listed as an accountant. They had nine children, 6 are still living at this time.

Lovely picture. I'm not sure it says Charlotte at the top, would need a better look.

Agree on word at top. Could it end in a double T?
