Only the wealthiest could afford a white gown that they would probably never wear again. Of course, whenever you had your photo taken, the photographer would say "Don't smile. Look serious." You would have to hold the pose for as long as the camera lens was uncovered, which could vary from several seconds to half a minute."<BR/>Also the way the groom has his coat buttoned at the top dates this as about 1890 as was the fashion for that time. <BR/>The quote is from:<BR/>http://www.bridalcolumbus.com/vintage.html<BR/><BR/>they also have other photos from this time period.<BR/><BR/>It is a beautiful photo heirloom. I hope you do find you answer as to which family member this is for you. Good luck on your search.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239292426845228866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3514230825673833138.post-940942295589837582008-09-16T21:01:00.000-05:002008-09-16T21:01:00.000-05:00Thank you Brett for your comments, that will certa...Thank you Brett for your comments, that will certainly help me, that time line will eliminate a number of ancestors!

From the style of the dress the woman is wearing and the design of the cabinet card mount, I believe this portrait was probably taken in the late 1880s or very early 1890s. Hope that helps a bit with your research.<BR/><BR/>Regards, Brett<BR/>http://photo-sleuth.blogspot.com/Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3514230825673833138.post-88435211286223613442008-09-15T12:52:00.000-05:002008-09-15T12:52:00.000-05:00That's quite a headdress!
