Hi Hickelmeyer,

I turned the photo of the girl the right way up, and enhanced it a bit so we can see it better to try to get a date for you.  Hope you don't mind :)

Do you have the originals of these photos, and if so, can you show us the whole print including any card that they're stuck to, as well as the backs?

For the outdoor group photo, I'm thinking 1860s, perhaps early 1870s, for a date - this is judging by what the lady is wearing. 

The photo of the girl seems to have been taken around 1890.

I know you will get plenty more interest and opinion on these :)

Cheers
Prue

Agree with Prue,1860's for the 1st.one.You can see in this the young woman still has the crinoline of this decade.The man is wearing a frockcoat but it's more fitted than the usual baggy style of the 1860's so I would suggest this is late in the decade.
The 2nd. 1889-93 was when this type of shoulder called a kickup was popular but as Prue said it's better if we can see all of it.

The first one is specially lovely.  Isn't it uncommon to have an exterior photo at this sort of date, Prue and Jim?

Unusual mainly because of cost.I would think several photos were taken with this commission but that wouldn't be beyond this family as they look well to do.
The photographer may even be a friend or relative of the family.

It's definitely posed, isn't it - see the boy on the left holding the dog's head still?

Photographers loathed animals & children,they just won't keep still,the slightest movement resulted in blurring.
There was a standard joke at the time about a photographer in the dock for murdering one of his customers,he explained he'd been trying to photograph her children all afternoon & was completely frustrated by the woman's inability to keep them still,the judge interrupted & said "I used to be a photographer..case dismissed".

Agree with the dates...and the outdoor shot is rather unusual. Mostly they were done in a studio.

I heard a similar joke about somebody on trial for murdering his bridge partner...the judge says, "Hmmm, trumped your ace, eh...I used to play bridge. Case dismissed." ;D
