Delicately poised with a fountain pen in her hand, 18-year-old Edith Alberta Newing looked like the picture of health as she posed for her photograph - possibly to celebrate a school graduation.
Yet just two months after the picture was taken in April 1926, the Wavertree-born teenager was dead.
Her photograph was discovered nearly 100 years later by Simon Howard, 40, who plucked it from a vast collection of old pictures at a car boot sale in Denver, Norfolk, last month. He now hopes to find out more about the young woman in the hopes of reuniting her likeness with her surviving family.
