Scottish portrait date and age

[Eric Hatfield]

Could the husband/father have enlisted and the photo is for him to take with him?

That is a good thought. If he was about to go off to war, you'd think they'd take a photo of mother and child with him rather than with his/her father. But if he was already in France, perhaps this makes more sense?

I have some very similar in dress and hairstyles.

That is helpful to know. It's all pointing to maybe 1911-1915, with the middle of the range perhaps more likely.

Thanks to both of you.

I am going for 1913-14 era.

Thanks. 1913 seems to be the centre of the estimates. I'll work on that.
