Information about old photos
« on: Saturday 22 January 05 17:41 UTC (UK) »
To try and date a couple of photos I have, roughly when would photos have been made as postcards ?

These also show two boys dressed as girls when very young.

Hi Mick,

Have just looked at the site you recommended.

Brilliant.

I found a photo of two children wearing the same clothes as in mine.
It was either high fashion, or the photographers used similar sets of clothes !

it sets the date at around 1909. Now if I can just find out which of my ancestors fit the bill !!  Cheesy Cheesy

Thanks

G'day Mary
Just wish I had some photographs of my family that went back that far.

This site has an online calculator where you answer some questions about your picture and it will come up with an approximate date. A helpful starter.
