Help dating this photo postcard

#1 Post by kmriley » Mon Mar 14, 2016 8:04 pm

Hi,
This is an old family photo postcard and I'm hoping you may be able to help me work out the date it was taken.
This in turn will help identify the children in the photograph. I have included both views, front and back.
Regards, Kim.

The 'Kodak Austral' stamp box on the back of the card indicates that the print was made in the 1920s/30s. The colour of the print (it appears to be sepia) narrows it down to the 1920s.

There is a possibility of course that the negative of the portrait used is much older than the print but judging by the children's clothes, I'd say no earlier than 1910.

I hope that this information is of assistance
