Any suggestions?
Hi there,
I wonder would it be a bit after turn of the century (1900). In the photo I don't see any Chinese male with a queue at the back of his head so it is more likely to be some years after 1912.
But don't count on me. It was just a wild guess.
Best Regards,
T
Thanks T, that's a good trick to remember. I can see it'll be worth having a separate thread about tricks for guessing dates of photos.
