Could someone please date this photo?
« on: Monday 30 June 08 11:01 BST (UK) »
I thought seeing I'd had such success with my other one, you might like to look at this one - the clothes are rather - odd!!!

I think I can guess who it is, if the date is kind of close.

Thanks very much,

Barbara

Can you show all the picture including the back if there is anything on it,also the thickness if it's a card.
The closest I can get is post 1890.

It is a postcard on the back, with a space for the stamp with a little horseshoe and what looks like T.I.? in a horseshoe in the stamp box

Does the postcard have a dividing line - one side for address/one for the message? These were introduced in 1904 so the line will give you a before or after this date.

I can't trace the TI in a horseshoe.

Hello Barbera
What you have is the maker's/photographer's mark,these cards
were produced in large quantities although I doubt this one was.
This was probably produced by a local photographer directly onto the card.
These began to lose popularity after WW1.
Dividing line means post 1902 & probably before 1920.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for that!
This photo was with several other family photos from a side-branch of the family. I'm pretty sure they are related, as their grandson looked an awful lot like his grandmother (?) in the photo.
The clothing is rather confusing though - the clothes obviously don't fit the man, and the woman looks like she is in costume! Very odd! I wondered if it was like a dress-up for photos studio, as a couple of other later photos in the group were taken at the Blackpool pleasure beach (and say so on very similar pcs). It's got me puzzled!

Thanks again,

Barbara
