The massive hair bows are the definitive dating marker here, representing a major teenage fashion trend that peaked between 1910 and 1918. Esther Burd (born ~1900) appears to be in her mid-to-late teens in this photo, which perfectly aligns with a date around 1916-1918. The high button boots and loose white dresses further corroborate the late 1910s timeframe.
