On the back, the photo appears to originate from The Boro. Fine Art Co., of 8 Despencer Street, Cardiff.

The sleeves on the woman and the oldest girl are about 1895-1900, and the man's suit looks about that time too. Earlier than that, rather than later, think.

I would agree, not that much earlier though, her sleeves are wide without the pointy up bit of the 1890s.

Probably about 1898. I have a photo where the girls and their mother are dressed in almost identical outfits. What made my photo easy to date was that the mother was pregnant with her youngest son who was born that year. Trish
