Hi and welcome to Rootschat.
I would suggest a date of 1870s. It's always a good idea to post the back of the photo if you have it.

Looks like may be stuck on a backing card.

There may still be a design on the backing card. If there is this will be helpful in the dating process.

For that date I would have expected to see a bustle...but the fake rocks where an 1880s prop.  So it could be.

I will try to find the original photo and see whether there is anything on the back.

All Carte de Visites and cabinet cards are attached to cardboard. This one looks like it may have been cut down.
