Dating Portraits - Groups
Again we repeat the warning that portrait style is probably the
least reliable way to date old photos. Darrah does not mention
group photographs, but it seems as if they are rare in the older
CDV's, perhaps due to the small format. If two people are shown
together, it seems most often to be two children, or mother and
child in early CDV's, while later CDV's and Cabinet Cards tend to
have pairs of adults more frequently.
Dating:
We have no dating criteria for this characteristic yet, but have
included this section in case we make some useful observations as
we go through dated examples.
