These four photos are ones that I recently was given of my great grandmother and gg grandparents. I'm not good at dating clothing so am hoping that some of you photo detectives might be able to get close. I can narrow things down a bit in that:
Amos and Rosina1 are tintypes. Amos died in 1884 and Rosina in 1880 (but I'm sure the photos are much earlier);
Rosina2 is paper, 2.5 x 4 inches, and taken by J.N. Wilson of Savannah, GA, "Photographer and Ferrotyper." Wilson was in business from 1865-1897;
Eliza is paper, 2.5 x 4 inches, and taken by Thomas B. Blackshear of Macon, GA. Thomas retired in 1910 and died in 1911. Also, he wasn't in business until circa 1875.
Thanks for having a go at it.
