No idea of age.  Removed damage marks.  Great candidate for colouring though I've no idea of colour for dress, is it a black mourning or formal dress ?

It looks 1890s to me.

I agree with Gadget. If you would like it restoring and/or colouring, you can amend the title of your post to reach a wider audience.

That's great, thank you so much.  Just wish I knew who it is.

A Thomas Coe is listed as taking photos in 1890s but I can't find anything else about him as yet.

Agree with the date & it's mid-late decade.
Title: Photograph date & age of sitter Bradford West Yorkshire
Post by: GrandadsSixpence on Saturday 11 July 20 10:19 BST (UK)
Hi

I've posted this before but wonder if there are any more thoughts?

Looking for age of sitter and date of photo.

Think its around mid 1890's?

I'm wondering if it could be a 13/14 year old girl 1893/94?

Many thanks

Late 1890s and the girl is not very old as she is still maturing, maybe 17ish. She has her hair up so not as young as 13/14

I was about to say exactly the same as Carol - and then I saw Carol's reply. I'm in total agreement  :)
