FWIW MyHeritage suggests about 1886.


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

That's very interesting - I had no idea that props could be used as a dating aid.

Do you have any opinion of MyHeritage photo date estimations? I have only uploaded a few for testing, most of which I know the dates, and they seem fairly accurate.
