Unknown for dating - England
« on: Monday 22 January 24 18:40 GMT (UK) »
I'd like an approximate date for the attached photo of a young English woman. It may be my great grandmother who was born 1865 and married 1884.
The reverse is a blank postcard of 5 x 3.5 inches (also attached).
To my mind, the style of clothing seems older than is apparently right for such a postcard. I thought it looked mid-1880s but such postcards are apparently >1900. Might an older photo have been reprinted?

Cheers...

I’m no expert and stand to be corrected, I suggest early Edwardian by the clothing. The card itself is after 1902.
