Hi

Would someone be so kind and date my four pictures, could you also tell me whether you think it is the same lady.


Thanks

Ladies 1, 2 and 4 have wedding rings - lady 3 doesn't. 
Lady 1 is different from ladies 2, 4 and 3.

I think you have three ladies here.  1, 2 and 4, and 3

China and Jim will be able to help with the dates soon.

I think 3 and 4 could be the same person before & after marriage,
the photographer's lighting can make a difference on facial shadows also.

Thanks for your views. I hope once they are dated I can figure out who they are.

HI,

As no one has put forward any dates, does anyone know where else I can attempt to get this information from

Thanks

i googled the photographers name and address john hart photographer city road e c . and it comes up england early 1900s,even gives his family tree so you should get a timeline from that.

Yes, John Hart died in 1901 but his studio carried on until 1922. Dates for the City Road address can be found at Photolondon.

It's the 275 Leytonstone Road address that's the problem, and also the lady's bodice which is a bit of a mix of styles. Even Old Rowley, a Rootschatter with access to a great deal of photographer info, couldn't find dates for the Leytonstone Rd studio.

So I'm going to say about 1902, 1903ish for the first photo.

Second photo, mid 1890s and the third one a bit later. Last photo not too sure but about 1900 or so.

Is there any printing on any of the backs?

Cheers,
China
