This tintype of a mother and her five daughters, although undated and subjects unidentified, says to me probably late 1890's or early 1900's. The mother is second from the left and she is surrounded by her five daughters who appear to be anywhere from seven years to perhaps sixteen years old. They appear to be not as well dressed as some of the subjects you see in the cartes de visites and cabinet cards of the same era and are perhaps of some ethnic background. It is a fascinating photograph nonetheless - I find their faces quite interesting.
I bet dad was beside himself with 5 daughters.
