Hello
Would it be possible to clean and give a estimate date for this photo...am unsure of exactly where it was taken or the occasion...but any input would be more than welcome.
Thank you in advance .

Something about several gentlemen makes me think “Italian”
The shorter one. Well he is not standing on the ledge, wearing a boater looks like Al Capone as. Young man - ;D ;D ;D, On our left as we look at the photo.
Th chap,in the lighter suit and Homburg hat at the front ,certainly looks Italian to me.
There were many immigrants in British towns at that time.
Manchester has a large Italian community but in Scotland and Wales too many towns had Italian families.
Hope you get more info.Viktoria.
P.S. wonder what the buttonhole in one man’s lapel signifies?
Could it be the green,white and red of the Italian flag I wonder.Red comes up quite black on B/W photographs.V.
P.P.S.,not a rosette but two dark centred flowers,sorry! :-X :-X

I love seeing all the different expressions in old group photos; really shows up their characters, especially when you zoom in to do the repairs.

Anyway, here's a couple of versions from me. :)

Commoners: DOUGAN (1844); FORD (1849); JOHNSTON (1850); BEATTIE (& LONG) (1856); BRICKLEY (1883).
Outlaws: MCGREGOR (1883) & ass. clans, Glasgow, Glenquaich, Glenalmond and Glengyle.

Those are good copies, I notice the man in the light suit and
Homburg  hat has a large right hand and a much finer left hand.
As do a few more on the front row.
Perhaps their trade or profession? or just coincidence.
You have started something artisan! ;D
