Slight clean up needed please! New photo
« on: Friday 24 September 10 16:04 BST (UK) »
Please would someone be able to date, clean or colour the carte de visite of this lady for me? I wondered if it was maybe 1870s but not sure! Thank you!

Hat sadly not kept as far as I know! She is a sister of my 2x great grandfather, but am trying to figure out a rough date to decipher which one! Thank you very much for the edited photographs they're brilliant!

As she's in a hat we can't see her hairstyle & as she's in a coat we can't see her dress style.
The pose she's striking is typical of the 1870's but the little bit we can see of her hair which has soft curls at the front is more an early 1880's fashion.The bustle suggests a date of 1883 on to 1889.Without seeing the back of this (which would help) I would suggest early - mid 1880's.
