A number are trimmed photograph postcards (popular from c1900) with handwriting on the reverse.

Hobcraft, Oxford Street, London; Beatie and Co; U.S.A. Studios, London and Provinces; Gorsuch, 48 Junction Road, Upper Holloway; W.F. Wood, Day and Electric Light Studios, Edgewear Road and Bishop's Road, London; Hellis and Sons, London; J. Cruickshank Taylor and Sons, Newgate Stree, London; and Hellis and Sons, London.
The costumes suggest that the photographs date from c1880 to the Edwardian period, but are not necessarily in chronological order.
