    Age of Sitter in Photograph - What is Your Guess?

    Just curious as to your guesstimate as to the age of the person second from the left in this photo? My son dug this out of a stack of images in my collection.

    Thanks,
    Jon

    Early 30s. Photographed c.1915.*

    * A semi-educated guess after spending way too many evenings surfing the Shorpy website.
    "In 1850 it would have been unusual to find someone who had handled a camera or looked at a photograph, but 100 years later the reverse would have been true—the camera had become a ubiquitous device, its techniques manageable by even the clumsiest and least sophisticated person."

    – Naomi Rosenblum, A World History of Photography, 1984

    I haven't a clue about the ages, but the two young ladies standing in the back right could pass for my ex-wife and one of my daughters, respectivly.

    Wow Rick, I wouldn't have guessed you were that old...

    As for my guess, I'm thinking mid-thirties, maybe early 40's.
