Re: Jacob Friedrich Brodbeck



To a certain extent, yes.  My experience has been that it is easier to date
a photograph if there are young men and women, especially women, in it since
they tended to be more fashion conscious.  Older men and women often wore
the fashion of their youth forty or fifty years later with some minor
adaptations!  So if you have younger men in the photo you might be able to
date it to within a couple of years.
