John Killigrew, Sr., circa 1892

Here's a badly faded photograph of John Killigrew, Sr., that someone has kindly estimated a date for, so I don't have to try.

I wish I were better at estimating dates of photos based on what the people are wearing, how they are doing their hair and such, and also the photographic technique involved. I have ordered a few books of fashion history that might help me somewhat. It seems a dauntingly huge subject to try to master.
