Dating Portraits - Standing Figure

Antique Photography Newsletter: Sign Up Today!

View Sample





As stated before, portrait styles are probably the least reliable means of dating old photos. The standing figure, either 3/4 or full length, is a common pose.

Dating:

As with the seated pose, Darrah uses the standing pose in combination with background features to suggest date ranges for particular styles, 1860 - 1890

Observations:

We have taken the background features and treated them separately, and don't consider the pose of much value for dating photos.
