dating of photograph

Post by malcatgala » Wed Feb 06, 2008 8:34 pm

I wonder if I could get help with dating of a photograph? (uploaded to the gallery).
It may be of my great grandparents. My own guess is that the photo dates from the 1890s (which would fit with the couple being in their early 50s) but I'd be glad of more expert opinion.
Many thanks
Malcolm
