circa 1919
✨AI Reasoning — AI Estimated
The white high lace-up boots are a strong indicator of the 1910s to very early 1920s, as they fell out of fashion shortly after. The subject's apparent age (late teens/early 20s) aligns with her birth year of ~1900, placing the photo around 1918-1921. The background crowd's attire further supports this transitional era.
