Hi All, can you please date this photo. We think it may be Maria Anderson b1841 or perhaps her daughter Maria Cunningham b1864.

It's more likely to be the second lady as I believe this is an 1880s image.

Thank you so much for your assistance in dating the photo. Can you please expand as to why you think its a 1880 image?

I agree with Carol. The neckline and hairstyle is 1880s. See, for example:

Add - so it's most likely to be the daughter.
