Looks like the lady is wearing the gigot sleeve which was the fashion from 1893 to 1897...they kept getting bigger and bigger so I'd estimate around 1895. Lovely photo.

If you post any more for dating please include the whole thing uncropped, including the outer corners.

Cheers,

Great....please be sure to show the whole thing uncropped...except of course for the scanner lid :)

And start a new thread for each one, because many don't revisit old threads.

Agree with China on the date, and guess at ages of one, three and six for the children.  Hope that helps :)

Cheers
Prue
