Hi.....the eaters will want to see the back if you have it as it helps with dating.

Are you calling Jim and China some kind of alien…"the eaters" or just hungry people?

The photo is glued to their card stock which has nothing on the back. It is a dark green in colour.

The dating people haven't seen this yet as it's slipped down the board, so bumping it up.

I think dark green card signifies 1880s.

PS That cello tape will eventually start to deteriorate and damage the photo.

I don't suggest you remove it for fear of tearing the image, but it's a shame it was used.

Have to wait for the experts, but Landport is Portsmouth and photographer operated from that address 1899 to 1911.

1870's & probably mid-late decade making this a reprint.
Back to the nosebag.
