Help to date this photo of a lady? Ellen or Mollie in Pennsylvania, US
« on: Monday 11 May 20 17:26 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have a guess as to the date of this photo? I apologize that I don't have the original so no info about the photographer or the paper- a distant cousin sent me the scan. We are wondering if it is her great-great grandmother or mine (or someone else altogether), they were sisters. Ellen born in 1850 and Mollie in 1852. Mollie died in 1894, though, so if you think this photo was taken post 1894, that would help to decide. Both sisters lived near Harrisburg, PA. I very much appreciate any help dating the photo!

Just moving it up the board for the experts to see. (My uneducated guess would be mid to late Edwardian, but wait for the experts.)

As Peter says this is Edwardian & probably the 2nd. half of the decade.
This would make her 55-60 & as you can see she's nowhere near that age.
I think you need to come forward a generation.

Thank you for that advice! I will re-evaluate, perhaps it is one of their daughters. Both of you, I appreciate your time.
