<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 3294690, member: 33"]Looking at the large U. S. flag in the top center, I would say this photo had to be from 1912 or later. The first two columns of stars are lined up with each other horizontally and they are vertically straight. The flag that was valid from 1912-1959 had that configuration. Otherwise, the last previous one that had it was in the 1840s, obviously too early for this picture!</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States#Historical_progression_of_designs" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States#Historical_progression_of_designs" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States#Historical_progression_of_designs</a></p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, is this photo mounted on a card, or is it printed on photo paper without being mounted?
