Good evening,

A rough guess, 1880/1890 maybe a little later.

If you could post it as a jpg please Emma we'd be able to see it...some browsers won't download it.

Cheers,

Thank you very much.  Is it mourning she is wearing or is that the type of outfit that they wore in those days?

Mourning clothing followed the fashions of the times, but this outfit could be any dark colouring. As its not a colour photo we'll never know.
