Black CDV's were introduced from around 1879 onwards. If the 'gilt' edge of the card is 'square cut ' they were introduced about 1882. If the edge is 'bevelled gilt' (which it appears to be) they were introduced from around 1885. So you may have the earliest date based on the card as from 1885 onwards.

Goodness. That really is lovely! The details are certainly more visible and you did a fantastic job in color selection. Very appropriate for the time I would say.

Thank you!

Hi - I came across your post only today 13 July 2015 while searching the name Jane Oxley and her association with Headingley Hall and was amazed to see this photo plus an interior room photo! Could I be very forward and ask how you came by these photos?  The reason I am asking is that about 27 years ago we bought a small picture in Harrogate and on the back a small newspaper cutting was attached with the simple information that it had belonged to Samuel Ingham Esq. of Headingley Hall and that it was sold in 1923 at Leeds Exchange Auction Mart by Oliver, Appleton & Kitchen Auctioneers. All I have managed to find out is that Samuel Ingham died in 1909 and presumably the Estate/possessions were sold after his wife Jane died in 1922.  Any other information would be much appreciated.  Thanking you.  T

 A colour version from me.  I gave her pink roses symbolizing Grace and Gratitude, according to the meaning of flowers chart. http://www.sarahjanecovey.co.uk/flower-meanings  I wonder how many of these old photos we've seen have certain flowers and were placed there to indicate an occasion .      , Tommy
