Agree early-mid 1920's.
Birth dates probably around 1870 & 1900.

So, it's not a postcard, then.

Well still you have a date to work with.

Could be up to about 1930...I have a photo of my (then!) very fashionable grandmother wearing an almost identical outfit to the younger lady, which was taken in 1931.

Cheers

Prue, thank you for your reply. That widens the timespan to anytime during the 1920's (and beyond) which is interesting. Thanks again.

China,i've been in touch with the photo's owner and have now been informed that it is indeed a postcard photo. They have now sent me a scan which should be below which hopefully will narrow the dating again.

Thanks again to everyone for their info and feedback.
