Title: Can anyone hazard a guess as to when this Wehrle man was photographed?
Post by: alistquin on Wednesday 15 November 17 12:30 GMT (UK)

I think this photograph of a Wehrle man is not who it's supposed to be. It's supposed to be a man who was born in 1865 called Lambert Wehrle, but it doesn't compare to others of him taken in the 1890s and 1900s.

Can anyone please offer a guess, educated or otherwise, as to when this photograph might have been taken?

Can I add a possible age of the subject?

My guess would be early 1900s.

I'm inclined to agree.

Pity we can't see more of the pic - that looks to be an impressive chain.
