great grandmother and great great grandmother Rangeley circa 1900?

[Anne Lothian]

Some beautiful restoration work there, folks!

Re the dating of this photo to 'circa 1900', I agree with Jim1 - I think it's quite a bit later than that.

I am definitely no expert, but I do have one or two photos of my grandmother, born 1877, when she was in her very early 20s, just before her marriage in 1900. It seemed to be a period of tight bodices, high necklines and long skirts - absolutely nothing like the looser, casual style of dress worn by the woman in this photo. And the way the child is dressed? When did little white sock and black t-bar shoes come into fashion for children?

Sorry, but to me 1900 seems quite a bit too early.

Like me Anne doesn't want you to go along believing these are 2 people who they couldn't possibly be because of the clothes & hairstyle. This is 1920's.

Thanks for opinions

Based on photos I have and the many that I have restored on here and seen dated...I'm inclined to agree with Jim and Anne... is it a postcard photo and if so, can you show us the back please. More likely to be your Great Grandmother b. 1896 and your Grandmother as a child.

I also agree with Jim , the clothing does not fit the era you suggest.

I think it's your great grandmother and grandmother as a toddler. I have photos of my mother with that hairstyle/clothing  in late 1920s and early 1930s.

All those who've made comments on the dates have masses of experience in dating old photos.
