| 866 | | Alexander Monteith McNaughton and Catherine nee Cameron.jpg Thanks for sending us your ask the photo expert query. I'm pleased to tell you that our photo-dating expert, Jayne Shrimpton, has chosen your picture (attached) to analyse this month. Please find below Jayne’s response. Your photo and Jayne’s response will be published on findmypast.co.uk's blog next week. Please be assured that I will only print your name and none of your other contact details. Many thanks and I hope you enjoy reading Jayne’s analysis. Jayne says: ‘You are quite right to seek professional help with this fine photograph. It isn’t unusual for family historians to guess at the date and names of ancestors in unidentified photographs that have been passed down the generations, without any firm evidence to support their ideas. Inevitably, they are often mistaken and this can seriously undermine their research. A valid date range is essential for placing each image within an accurate historical context that will form a sound basis for identification and may well prompt further discoveries. Photographs may contain various clues to help with their dating and interpretation. Firstly we see that this is a professional card-mounted studio portrait taken by Notman & Fraser photographers of Toronto, Ontario. The geographical location provides important information which should narrow down the possible candidates for the ancestors in the scene. Studio details printed on mounts can also be investigated and a Google search for this well-recorded Canadian photographer produced interesting links. Significantly, on the McCord Museum (Montreal) website we learn that William Notman of Quebec opened his Toronto studio with John A Fraser in the autumn of 1868 and that the business was sold in 1880: http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/en/keys/virtualexhibits/notmanstudio/themes/portrait/page4.html The address of the Toronto studio was 120, King Street East and on this page of the McCord Museum website is a photograph of the very building where your forebears went for their photographic portrait sitting: http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/en/collection/artifacts/I-34684.1?Lang=1&accessnumber=I-34684.1 Turning to the image, the evidence of dress confirms that your photograph was taken towards the end of Notman & Fraser’s 1868-1880 period of operation in Toronto. The lady wears a smart silk two-piece daytime costume comprising a fitted hip-length front-buttoning bodice and matching skirt – an outfit that displays the narrow lines of the late 1870s. The silhouette of these years was formed by the elongated cuirass corset that entered mainstream fashion in around 1875 and, producing a long smooth line over the hips, effectively forced downwards the earlier (c.1869-75) bustle. Clothing continued to narrow and grow sleeker in the following years but until c.1880 the residual back drapery of the skirt cascaded downwards into a long train, as seen here. These elements and other stylistic features such as the lace neck detail and her smooth, high-piled hairstyle indicate a date range of c.1876-80 for your photograph. Men’s dress is always harder to date closely than that of women, but this gentleman’s appearance looks fine for our period. He is smartly dressed in a formal frock coat featuring the wide lapels of the 1870s and wears the full, bushy beard that some men favoured by this date. The composition is typical of a wedding photograph and the lady clearly displays a wedding band, so when considering identity, I suggest that you concentrate on ancestors who married in the Toronto area between 1876 and 1880.’ | ||
