possibly Oldham, Binny or Lovering

[Tabbicat26]

Please can anyone date this photograph and/or estimate the age of the sitter.  Likely surnames are Oldham, Binny or Lovering from Padstow, Portsmouth and Bristol respectively.  The image was scanned from a slide which, unfortunately, carries no information as to the original source which was possibly an oil painting.

Any help will be much appreciated, thank you.

I can't help with dating and this post seems to have been missed so bumping up the board.

Skippy.

Yes, it's been rather disappointing so thank you very much!

Not sure of dating - I know that it's often difficult to date men's photos as fashions didn't change much, and in fact here you can't see a great deal of his clothing.

In terms of age I'd say late twenties or thirties.

Hope that might help just a bit!

Thank you IgorStrav, I agree that the sitter looks to be late twenties early thirties.  I'm just hoping that someone who looks at the picture might be knowledgeable about men's neckwear fashions as I think the wide knot in the tie may be diagnostic

I have now discovered that this is a photo of an oil painting of a photo of Silvester Key Binny - born Rumford1853 died Portsmouth 1932.
