Indigo

Very hard to date. Unlike women's fashion's that changed a lot  :o .....well men not so much. He appears to be wearing evening wear (if that tie is truly white..hard to tell) and is quite a dapper gentleman...... ;D It's really hard to see the collar which might help to date it...sorry  ???

Think it's one of those stiff sticky up and prick you under the chin if you don't keep your head up, collars, mab.

Hi Indi, about the date... I have an old  photo which is mounted in exactly the same way as yours and it was dated at 1903 +  Your man looks about the right age for that. :)

Thanks Sherlock.

Its useful to have an approximate date.
That would put him in the right place and time for the Boer War
