Photo dating challenge #5!
« on: Saturday 18 March 06 11:16 GMT (UK) »
Righty-oh all you photo dating experts  ;D
Here is your next challenge.  Now, I don't have an exact year for this one, but I'm certain within 2 years either side of a given year, so you have some leeway  ;)

This time, as well as guessing, I want you to write down a few of the things that led you to the conclusion you drew. 

GOOD LUCK  :)

Prue

1872.  I have a similar one of my GG Grandmother taken in the early 1880s, but that one just looks older.

Hi,

I'd guess 1889...because of the lace. ;D ;D

Mid to late 1870s, again because of the lace and hair style.
Coming down on 1877.

1878 - and like the others, just gut instinct - that's probably why I have been so far off  ;D

Well Prue!

I'm scared NOT to say Irish now ...... and seeing as how the photograph was taken in Southport - which is close to Liverpool - which is the capital of Ireland ....  :P  ;)

It's my opinion ...... she's Irish 1898

Well, I'm way out of line with everyone else's guesses - but the high neck, side bow and lace collar(s) make her look borderline late Victorian/early Edwardian to me. I say 1902.

at a guess and a stab with a blunt pin I would say about 1888. Why that date........well,  Bickerstaffe is noted as the photographer and, in or around 1890 he also had a studio in Rochdale, as this is not shown on the front of the card (not too hot on this but is it a cart de visite? or something like that) I would assume that it was taken prior to the Rochdale studio opening.
