Dating a snapshot taken in St Louis
« on: Sunday 04 June 17 23:01 BST (UK) »
This photo was in a box with many identifiable photos from my grandfather's side of the family. This woman bears a strong resemblance to my grandfather and appears to be sitting in a back garden by a set of outside stairs with 4 children. It is a snapshot on thin paper. Any ideas on a time range based on the clothing would be very helpful.

This is probably a Blake, Dawes, Eiler, Vorberg, or Sicking family photograph, taken in St. Louis.

Thanks for any thoughts on this!

The start date is WW1 but could be into the very early 20's but not by much.
The girl 2nd. right is wearing a dress with a dropped waist band, these first appeared around 1915 but she's just wearing it now as playing out clothes, so I would suggest 1917-20.
