With that narrower silhouette, it must be 1878 or later. If it was taken early 1860s she should have had a wide skirt - crinoline style, think Mary Lincoln. Look at Wikipedia photos of the 1860s and then the 1870s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1860s_in_fashion Although with those sleeves, her dress almost looks 1890s. She also appears to have a wedding ring on her left hand. His clothing looks wrong for the 1860s but look at what Bat Masterton is wearing on the Wikipedia 1870s fashion page. Liane
