Hi  I wonder if you wonderful experts could cast your eyes over this and give me a possible date?  I have scanned the front and back

Hi Debbie

The following website deals with all sorts of aspects of Victorian life including a section on the various hairstyles of the period.

Mid-late 1870's.The ringlets are about 20 years out of date & only little girls were wearing them  in the 70's,along with the plaited hairpiece called a chignon it all looks very odd,but she must have liked it.

Thanks for that Jim,  yes I thought the ringletty hairstyle looked earlier so thanks for the explanation
