Title: Photo Date?
Post by: akoenen2 on Monday 11 July 11 04:14 BST (UK)

Hello Everyone..

I'm wondering when this photo could've been taken.
In this photo:
• Nellie Gerdes (1852-1923)
• Henry Gerdes (1857-1924)

Thanks.

It's difficult to give an accurate date from this,we would need to see the original.
What the lady is wearing looks slightly ethnic & I can imagine her dressing this way all her life.
It could be as early as late 1890's but most probably early 1900's.
