1st. one is mid-late 1870's.
The 2nd. could be from around the same time but there's not much to see.
We really need to see the back of it.

Thank you.
Unfortunately there is nothing on the back.

Lovely pictures Joy.

I have found the photographer in the 1872 Dundee Directory.

My guess is 1875 for the top picture because of the neck to hem buttons.
