Following the discussion on this thread http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=756154.msg6058027#msg6058027 here is another photograph on identical cardstock for dating, please?

Obviously a big Gibson fan.
Another 1860's & could be anytime from around 1863 up to the end of the decade.
She's still wearing a crinoline unlike the other one so maybe closer to mid decade.

Another 1860's & could be anytime from around 1863 up to the end of the decade.

But like the previous one I posted, it's on a cardstock with rounded corners, i.e. 1870's  Unless, as you suggested earlier, he was ahead of his time

I don't believe all of these are reprints it would be too much of a coincidence.
The major cardstock producers didn't make cards like these until the mid 70's but by the look of it there were one or two photographers about producing their own.

Thanks Jim for your help.
I remembered today that there was an article about Gibson in a recent local history publication.
There are several photographs given as examples of his work, including one which is dated to mid 1860's and is on identical cardstock to the two I've posted.

Back to square corners on this one

Perhaps he's now using one of the major card makers.
