Can anyone date this photograph please?
« on: Friday 17 May 24 12:41 BST (UK) »
Is it possible to tell me anything about the attached photo?

I don't have the original - only this one.

Is it possible to date it from what you can see?

Are there any other clues in the picture?

Thanks and kind regards

Dave

Dress style does seem to indicate the 1920s.  There looks like writing on pic, unable to read as small.

I'm no expert, but the cloche hat, dropped waistline and hemline just below the knee all suggest the mid-1920's to me.

elinga, Cas(stallc), JenB, garsonite and purlin - many thanks to you all for your replies and what makes it so much better is that you all seem to agree that the period is the 1920s.

Thanks very much indeed for your time and efforts.

Kind regards

Dave

I would agree with 1920s too, the style of dress is right for the era.
