What a lovely, charming photo of a world gone by... wintertime, but not too cold.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much that's dateable in the photo. The men are wearing working clothes that probably didn't change much in about 60 years...the only thing is the girl's dress, and most of it isn't visible.
The oldest man looks like he's wearing a style of whiskers that came into vogue in the 1860s and remained popular for quite a while with older men. Because of this and what I can see of the girl's dress, which isn't much, I would hazard a wild guess at about 1880-1890 or so for the photo. Of course you may get other guesses.
Is there anything printed on the back? If there is, could we see a scan please?
Cheers,

Hi China,
I looked at the picture and thought 1860 before I saw what anyone else had written so I was very pleased to see this post of yours..
I must have learned something, then I spotted what Jim said, and read your post properly! My dad always said 'never change your mind you always make the wrong decision'.
So sorry Jim and China, I am most likely wrong, but sticking to my guns here!
Sally! Are you asking for restores? We have to have your permission to do them you see! It is a lovely picture bye the way!
