This is a Victorian Cabinet Card - c1895-1900 Portrait of a South Hackney Lady CBC17
The photograph, a cabinet card featuring a woman in a distinctive Victorian-era dress, can be dated to the late 1890s, specifically around 1895-1900.
Fashion Style: The most prominent indicator of the date is the woman's dress, particularly the very large, puffed sleeves often referred to as "leg-o-mutton" or "gigot" sleeves. This style, which reached its peak in the mid-1890s, dramatically broadened the shoulders and upper arms, balanced by a relatively narrow waist and a bell-shaped skirt.
