The dude in the straw boater is my G-Grandfather. I know the photo was taken pre July 1923 because July 20th or so he went walkies after selling his hops and having a 'wee drink' in a bar and was found the next day floating in the river without wallet or his boater. He never went without his hat....ever.

using SUEANGEL's elements. The 4 used are: Shabby pink bg, her Yellow linen hanky 3 times. Firstly with the middle cut out as a frame for the photo, then tubed on paint.net as a translucent bg then, the whole thing was colour inverted and fragmented which gave it a shabby effect around the edges.
