Dating a photograph c1900?
« on: Monday 18 November 13 00:05 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

Can anyone please help to put a close date to this photo, as there is some dispute over which cricket club these gents belong to. The club it is believed to be hadn't formed until 1933. This looks earlier to me, and the information I had was c1900. They are from South Australia.

Many thanks  :)

I found this on a family History site, it refers to a team also from 1900 in Australia.
Looks right     http://graemecheeseman.com/lalbertcricketteam.jpg

Definitely earlier than 1933 - I would have said around 1910 or earlier.

Difficult to put an accurate date on it unless we can see what it is, postcard etc.
The quality is well below that for a 1930's photo so C. 1900 is a fair rough estimate & may even be earlier.

Thank you very much for your replies. Unfortunately it is a poor copy of an original. I think I will keep it at c1900, and therefore assume it is not the cricket club formed in 1933.
Many thanks  :)
