Title: Help with dating photos
Post by: Lesl1e on Monday 21 January 13 19:36 GMT (UK)

The photos do not have any writing on the back, such as photographer or town.

They were possibly taken in South West England.

Any help appreciated.

I agree with the date range given and also with the opinion that they are beautiful :)  Lovely to see some ambrotypes in their original frames, and in such great condition.
