Title: Help dating a picture
Post by: joshuadwilliams on Tuesday 14 January 14 19:52 GMT (UK)
Hello everyone,

I have come across another old photo in my grandmother's collection.

As you can see, its a very bad photo of a picture. So I was hoping some very helpful person could help date the picture? Is the original a painting or a photo? I can not tell. And my third question, how old would you age this lady at? Hopefully someone can offer some suggestions to me, thank you.

It is a photo and she looks to be in her 40s i would say.

She looks to have the sleeve style called a kick-up which would date it 1889-93.
By your comments I would suggest this is an over-sketched enlargement of the original photo.

Okay, thanks both for your input.

Unfortunately, I have no idea who this is. Hopefully I can narrow it down, but it could be anyone (maybe not even related).

Thanks again
