I would really appreciate some help in dating these photos. The first photo was taken in England. The last three photos were taken in New York. Thank you for your help!

These are real rough guesses ;)

1. 1880 - 1890. Black Victorian Coat with narrow sleeves. Hat tied on.

2. 1890 - 1900. Central parting. Starched stand up collar. Maybe that was a frock coat with the edging.

3. 1910 - 1915. Frilly blouse and tailored skirt. Starched rounded collar on his shirt. Side hair parting. No facial hair.

4. Early 1920. Polish toe cap to boots. Soft un-starched collar. Is that a Homburg hat?

Fantastic! |jumphappy

Your guesses are spot on to the time periods I was hoping for. After looking up what a Homburg hat is, I have to say that it does indeed look like one.

Thank you for your help!

You are welcome.
Interesting photos

If you post anymore you may find you get a few more replies by putting one photo at a time, in a thread.
It is much easier to study one than four.;)
