Am I right in thinking that this CdV is early-mid 1860's please?
It came from the same collection as this one
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=785990.msg6411657#msg6411657
and is clearly taken outside the same doorway.
The r-h edge and bottom edge have been trimmed, but judging by the top l-h corner it originally had square corners.
The standing woman's outfit appears to incorporate 'bishops sleeves' as mentioned by jim in the previous thread as going out of fashion early-mid 1860's :-\

Another lovely one Jen...it looks like you have correctly answered your own question.

What did I say, before seeing it, Jennifer :D
The younger lady looks very like the last but one CDV in the light coloured crinoline.

PS - have you located the doorway?

Thanks both, I'm pleased my deductions seem to be correct (I am learning, but slowly!)
Sadly, I have no idea where the photos were taken.

Probably doesn't help much, but the dog looks like an IRISH Water Spaniel.
Wouldn't want to put you off the scent though!

I realize this is a bit of an old post, but thought you might like a quick restore of it.
