This couple are believed to be a German Kuss and Veronika Weiser who were both born around 1815. I don't have the originals so can't offer any clues from the cards.

The photographs were probably taken either in Furtwangen or Schonwald in the Black Forest.

Do the quality of the photograph, the apparent ages of the couple, the clothes they are wearing and therefore the possible date they were taken, match up?

And finally, does anyone think there is any possibility that this is the same man as the one I posted yesterday? I'll append that to this post too.

Tall question I know, but way beyond my ken.  :)

Cross eyed.

They are not the same Gentleman .

The photo of the lady is 1870's & as her chignon is placed at the back of her head I would suggest mid-late decade.
The man could be 1860's or 70's by his dress style but as the photo is quite good I would also suggest 1870's.

Agree - not the same man.  Hair parted on opposite side of head . . .  not definitive but still . . . .

The lady looks a bit young to have been born in 1815.  Jim's dating of the photo would make her  65 at least.    :-\ :-\

I agree with Wiggy...more likely to be the next generation.

Thank you all - brilliant comments. Would any of you care to guess at the ages of the subjects?

I will have a guess at them being in their fifties, but seeing as people looked older than their years in the past, I could be wrong. :-\
