The cabinet card proudly displays multiple "GOLD MEDAL & DIPLOMA" awards from exhibitions in Sunderland (1894), London (1894), and Newcastle (1895), signifying their photographic excellence during that period. The awards dated 1894 and 1895 suggest the photograph was taken sometime in the mid to late 1890s.
