Any clues on a date for this please? Can the misty fade be sharpened at all? I would be grateful, Sol

He's dressed very formally & looks like he's going to his wedding.At least 1890's & possibly into the early 1900's.He's wearing a very short jacket & his waistcoat has steep peaks which look more 1890's.

Thankyou all...Charles, Jim, DobFarm and of course Carolyn. Great stuff and as far as date that mid to late 1890's works well with what I know. He was a bit of a bounder and ran off to Australia and opened a corn mill in the middle of nowhere. Cheers, Sol
