<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 36939, member: 44"]Right Messi. As the date found on the back is 1875, I agree with the 1870s. Those narrow hats perched on the front of the head were very much in style at that time. Also in the mid to late 1800s shawls were common. Usually the shawls pictured in 1870s magazine fashion plates were paisley. There is a good chance this girl, think she is more in her late teens rather than a grown woman, didn't have a more expensive paisley shawl. This was the only shawl she had. Most people never could dress as fashionable as the magazines portrayed back then or even today. There are fashion plates dating from c1810 showing that cashmere shawls were popular at that time. Here is a woman with shawl posed on possibly a similar chair. Looks c1870s to me.</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-AMERICAN-BEAUTY-VICTORIAN-FASHION-SHAWL-HAT-TINTED-COLOR-TINTYPE-PHOTO-/141114486182?pt=Art_Photo_Images&hash=item20db142da6" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-AMERICAN-BEAUTY-VICTORIAN-FASHION-SHAWL-HAT-TINTED-COLOR-TINTYPE-PHOTO-/141114486182?pt=Art_Photo_Images&hash=item20db142da6" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-AMERICAN-BEAUTY-VICTORIAN-FASHION-SHAWL-HAT-TINTED-COLOR-TINTYPE-PHOTO-/141114486182?pt=Art_Photo_Images&hash=item20db142da6</a></p><p><br /></p><p>March 1872 Godey's Lady's Book plate.
