It's only my theory and I haven't got a lot to support it, but I always think that if you have photographs of close family you don't bother writing on the back who the subject is. You'd only write names and places if it was a more casual acquaintance. You don't have to disagree with my theory but feel free.

You’re probably right! I have a wad of old photos that my Grandfather gave to my Mother and said these are my family. My Mother doesn’t know who many of them are and they all lived at the opposite end of the country to where my Grandfather settled. He was 99 when he died and he had 12 brothers and sisters. There are no names on the back bar one. Yet his photos of war pals had names on. I wish that I had asked him more. Ladyt

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?
