Title: Pls help with dating this photograph
Post by: steedie1978 on Monday 28 February 11 09:06 GMT (UK)

Hi,

Another one here! This is a cabinet card with a place name on the back of Stettin, so we know where it was. Any ideas on a date would be fantastic please!

Many thanks
Rhiannon

Great photo, shame it's so degraded :(

Date would be around 1895, give or take a couple of years. Those sleeves were fashionable from 1893 to 1897, and got more voluminous each year.

Fashions in the western world were driven by London and Paris, so I would expect Stettin to be not too far out of step with England.

Cheers,
China
