Can anyone give me a rough guess on when these photos may have been taken?

Hi Cheryl,
you might have to be patient, some of our experts may be away on holiday.
I've got a couple of books on dating old photos, & I would date the school one late 1890s to early 1900s. Its all about the sleeves, hairstyle, & lace on the collar.
I'm not enough of an expert to date the second one, older women didn't keep up with the fashions, so its more difficult to date them, I'm sure an expert will be along soon.~ Louise ~

Hi, I'm going to go for 1900ish for both photos, the teachers clothes and the little girl in the sailor suit seem to fit that era, and in the 2nd photo it's more the children and the younger of the ladies. I love the doll which must have been so expensive and the fact that she and her owner appear to have matching bonnets..
