Looking for dates for photos from UK - Photographers Snowden and WM Edmonds
« on: Saturday 09 November 19 19:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone!
I dont suppose anyone could give me an estimated date (as best as possible) for the attached photos please. All from a family album from northern UK, and im trying to work out who could be in them.

Snowden was in business between 1879 and 1892, and WM Edmonds was a photographer from roughly 1888 to 1920.

Thanks guys <3

Edwardian perhaps. The old gentlemans photo may be copy from earlier.

Is the album connected to your FH or just one you have bought?

Thankyou all for the replies thus far!

Yes, the photo is connected to my FH. The album was curated by the nephew of my great-great grandparents (g-g grandmothers brothers son). He was an only child, and very close to his family, so all photos are either family or close friends of his. There are over 300 photos in his collection, some with names on, some without. His own grandson contacted me and sent me scans of them all. This part of the family was located in Hull, UK.
The most prominent photographer in the collection is William Mortimer Edmonds (as seen in these). He was actually my g-g grandfather, and the curators uncle.

1906

I have a photograph which is definitely taken in 1907 and while the collar and tie arrangements are the same the tie is much narrow than your one.
Also 1907 waistcoat is much higher,
So I am thinking your one is a little earlier.
