photo dating please
« on: Sunday 18 May 08 00:51 BST (UK) »
I'm wondering if anyone could tell me when this photo was taken.  It says in the bottom right hand corner Hull and in the bottom right hand corner Watson.  I think it was probably taken by William Tindall Watson in Hull Yorkshire.  I'm wondering if it could it have been taken before 1866.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Tricia

Hi Tricia  :)
It does look like an 1860s photo to me...would need to find out more about the photographer though before giving a definite date.  I will see what I can find out.

Cheers
Prue

The pose and especially the flooring look like 1860s to me too...that lino floor seems like a very typical thing you'd see in an 1860s photo....I've seen a lot similar.
