Date Old Photo of GGGGGrandmother Reid
« on: Sunday 14 July 19 15:15 BST (UK) »
Could someone give me an approximate year this photo was taken and also roughly the age of
the elegant lady who I think (I'm hoping) will be my GGGGrandmother.  Thank you, Ladyt

My guess at the time would be late 1800s early 1900s, leaning towards 1900-1910 or so, but then I'm not a fashion expert!

Yes, I agree possibly 1895 to 1905 very roughly.  (Easier if she had a hat.)

I'm guessing the lady is not married or engaged as the ring hand is not prominent.

Perhaps she is in her 20's?

I don't think that this is one of the 1890s style blouses. I'd say 1900-1907-ish

Add - Alternatively it could be circa 1889 with the pinched up sleeve tops.

Quite an unusual embellishment. Haven't seen anything like it before, can't quite work it out.

Lots of books and online resources show various embellishments.

Yes, but mainly symmetrical.

Found a photo in one of my books with the sleeker line that is shown in this image that has been dated 1900.

I recall Jim giving some info on this style at one stage.


Add - just noticed that OP was asking about age as well - maybe late 20s-early 30s.

IF  she is about 20-30, and the fashion is early 1900s,  it seems a stretch for her to be the OP's GGGgrandmother.    :-\ :-\ :-\.
