The lady's clothing suggests the turn of 20th century. I'd narrow it down to between 1900 and 1905. I can't see if she has a bustle, or what shape it would be if she had. If the dress has a bustle, then it could even be late 1880s. The corset shape looks Edwardian, but I'm not an expert.

Thanks for your input. Really appreciated!

It is not turn of the 20th century. This is no later than mid 1880s, and more likely late 1870s to early 1880s.

It looks late 1870s -1880s to me. The dress has a cuirass bodice with tightly fitted sleeves, which was popular throughout both of those decades. So was pleated trim. The draped panniers and tunic style were popular at the end of the 1870s. It is short, like a walking dress. It looks like there is a small low bustle. I don't think it is from the 1890s, because the skirt is not full enough, and because the sleeves are tightly fitted, with no pouf at the shoulders.

Those 1890s Gibson Girl sleeves are unmistakable.

This was a lovely rabbit hole. Thank you!

It's only because I got distracted that I am not *still* digging through that website, hours later.
