Do you have some of those old photos, you know the ones with no dates on them? Don't we all have those stuck somewhere? And wouldn't it be nice if a name was on them as well? How would you like to get some clues to figure out who it is and when it was taken?
First of all, you need to look at the photo. I know you already saw it, but REALLY look at it. Have someone else look at it too. What is in the background? Could it be a backdrop in a studio? Could it be outside in the fall? Are there any houses or automobiles? Could that be **** smethingtime period
Now look at the attire and hair style. Look at the little things. Are those full length gloves or a fur collar? Are those buttoned boots, or tie boots. Is that a hankie in his shirt pocket?
Does she have bangs, curls, or a really tight bun? What kind of hat is he wearing?
Maybe if you can find the clues, and get a time frame, you can get some idea of who is in the photo.
Here is one website that tells of the details of different time periods, and different clues.
