I think the dating experts will want to see the back of this photo as well, so perhaps add this if possible. In the meantime I am going to guess at a date of about 1900.  :) Others should be able to narrow down a more exact year for you.
I can't see the photographer's name very clearly, but googling that may also help you.

Do you know who the couple are?

It is not clear, but I am wondering if her hands are posed to show a ring? Possibly a wedding photo?

Is photographer's name S.R.Page? Is there more information about him on the reverse?

Could you perhaps ask the person who does have the photo to scan the back for you?  :)

It is likely that a date can still be estimated without the reverse.

Yes - we can try to get the reverse - but we know nothing about the photo - we are trying to figure it all out - we only know that it was found with photos of family we have managed to identify.  -Thanks again ever s much for your help.
