Just to add another thought to your old photo. I have done some costume research for our local little theatre. These are all costumes. Northern European with a little gypsy added in. You can see the stage curtain in the right background. Front left has a woman in an archers outfit, some are dressed as domestics, third row center has two young women as men with fake mustaches. The hats, fabrics, the tulle all suggest 1890's or a little earlier. If you could close in on the doll and get a larger scan of her the doll museums or their many books and catalogs would probably be the best way to close in on a date. The costumes could easily be 20 years older than the photo. It is a wonderful photo. Do you know it's history?? How did it get to you? So many clues---- look at shoes. The woman 2nd row left has a open type shoe . If this was street wear you could date it but costumes are a totally different matter. This is a real fascinating photo. )Please email me as you find out more. I love to add to my lore of old costumes.
