Trying to date Picture of boy
« on: Wednesday 08 November 17 21:06 GMT (UK) »
My great grandfather was born in 1868 near Islington, London. I believe this might be a picture of him taken as a boy. I estimate the boy's age to be about 6....

Can anyone please advise if the clothing he is wearing fits with this period, about 187375 (no certainty as many items were often handed down overtime).

The back of the picture shows the photographer was Edward G Russell operating from 298 Holloway Road, London.  I haven't yet found any directories for his business to establish when he was trading at this address.

Any advice is much appreciated.
