Photo of woman with children for dating please
« on: Monday 21 May 18 10:16 BST (UK) »
Please could the experts give me a date for this photo? It is by the itinerant north country photographer Allan Ramsden.

I love the little girls in their matching outfits.

It is larger than carte de visite size, the mount is about 4¼" wide by 6½" long.

Many thanks for any help  :)

Hi Jen....The dimensions are of a cabinet card and I would suggest a date of mid-late 1870s.

1880's.
Thank you Jim.
I am trying to get to grips a bit with dating (failing miserably up to now). What do you see that leads you to know it’s 1880’s please?

My book says a single red border was popular 1870-1879....it just shows you how info can be contradictory across various sources and fashions likewise depending on wealth.
