Has anyone any idea of the date of this photo, taken in Dublin by Chancellor, 55 Lower Sackville St.
Many thanks in advance,
Liz

This is an odd one.
She's dressed in evening wear & without the child it would look like a stock photo of someone in the theatre.
Without seeing the back I would suggest late 1880's.

Many thanks for all your help - I was wondering if the child could be a boy, because if so , my grandfather was born in 1889 !

My guess would be a boy...lovely photo.

Some info on the photographer on this link.

The back is very much in the style of 1880's CdeV's.
With all of those illustrious names I'm wondering if this is some notable person whose photo has been put on general sale.

A late splash of color for a lovely study.
