Please Help To Date Photograph
« on: Thursday 07 October 10 12:37 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone,

I was hoping for a little help in trying to date this photograph - it always seems hard to make a decent guess with men in suits but I thought some experts on here might know more than I do!  It's just a scan so I don't know if there was a photographer's name on the back or what style of photograph it is etc.  Thanks for any help.

Regards

Hi Flickgirl,
I'd guess about 1908-1910.
The high neck on the vest and jacket indicate a date about that time.
The rounded corners on the shirts make me think closer to 1908, but if there are cuffs on the trousers, a bit hard to see, I'd go for 1909.

Looking at the photos I have of my Grand dad, I would agree with the dates as the clothes are very similar.
