The most significant dating cue is the style of the round, thin-rimmed eyeglasses, which were highly popular from the late 1920s through the early 1940s. The man's hairstyle and the black and white print format are consistent with this period. Applying a cultural lag for Sephardic communities, the style's prevalence would extend into the early to mid-1940s.
