Dating of photo please
« on: Monday 04 March 13 14:23 GMT (UK) »
Hi, Can anyone help with date of this photo.  The photographer was The Parsian School of Photography, Old Kent Road, and was open from 1904 until 1928 but I am trying to narrow down this date for the photo and perhaps someone can date it roughly by the clothes and boots.
Many thanks.

Could you rescan in colour please and show all the outer corners...also the back if there is any printing.

Thanks for the link Irene :)
I wondered why there was something weird going on at the end of "Photograph..."

The style of card indicates the earlier end of the spectrum, but the boy is dressed in clothes that are a bit later, possibly post WW1. To me, anyway.

I'm wondering if it might be a reprint...the quality of the photo doesn't suggest 1920 to me.

By gaw, what a memory you have, Irene ;D

Hi Irene, China, Pru and all
Thanks for your views on the photo.  I thought it might have been taken about 1920ish but just wanted someone to confirm.
Many thanks again
