An assessment of a few simple features can give a surprisingly good indication
of the date of some types of photograph. The calculator on this site currently
handles
only two types: the
carte-de-visite
, which was very popular during the second half of the 19th century; and the
postcard print
, which was very common in the first half of the 20th century. The results
given by the calculator can only be indicative but they should be useful for
guiding your assessment of fashions or narrowing down your searches for
photographers in directories.
