Well girls, if you want to play with them and MANY more, how do you want them ?
How do I get them to you ?
I already have them scanned, but they tend to be bigger than 1Mb even at my default jpeg settings. I always scan as colour and I don't have many of the originals (they were borrowed to scan).

Wow there
I think you are posting too many on one thread. It is best to give each photo its own thread so restorers will not miss one.
There are some tips posted on how to scan here

So as not to overload it is also best to post only two or three a day. This way other posters get a chance.

Wonderful photos...I'd like to see them without the compression

First one, about 1900 to 1905, no later than that I'd think...The photographers were in business for about 45 years.
Second and third, not much to go on...even the shoulders of the woman have been cut out of the picture...but the black mounts with gold lettering are likely 1890s...
Fourth, children are hard to date but these ones are wearing shoes rather than boots, so I'd guess after about 1910 or so, maybe just before the war...
Fifth, just a guess based on the style of mount, about 1900 or so. A scan of the back of the photo might be helpful, proving there is any printing on the back.
Sixth, no clue. After 1888...not very helpful.
Seventh, 1910-1912 or so. Too many men in the photo to be during the war. Don't you just love those hats! A high-res scan of this one would do us all good
The last two, early during the war...but you knew that

Wonderful photos. Cheers,

Thanks to all.

I wasn't sure that the Soldiers were not Regular Army judging by the Braid. What might his rank have been ?

PS Very strange to see colour versions (not tints), were colours that vivid in those times ?
