Hi Jeni :)

We've already had this one: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,603441.0.html

1870s is the date, but we would need to see the outer corners to pin it down more.  If they are truly rounded (and not just worn down) then it's probably late in the 70s.

Here's a link with information about how to post photos for dating:

Cheers

This photographer was listed at that address from 1879 to 1886 although he had been in business for a few years before that in North City Road. The business continued after 1886 at various addresses until the late 1890's (although by that time it was known as Martin, Wohlgemuth & Co.)
