Clothing Styles–A Clue to Dating Photographs
I discovered a wonderful website to help you date the period of your vintage photos. This is what Pauline Weston Thomas has to say:
How to Date Old Photographs by the Costume
- …dating old photographs and pictures by analyzing costume, fashions, hats & jewelery worn by the wearers in the photos. Use costume history to date photos. Learn tips and hints and examples to help you to achieve a date within 5 years either way of the photo ’s original date. This will make your genealogy research so much more meaningful to you and your family.
- Learn by example how to use your own detective skills to examine your photo in detail. See how close you can get to the date which in some cases you may be able to verify with documentation.
