The bride's dress length and silhouette are definitive markers of the mid-to-late 1920s. The studio stamp confirms a New York City location, where Sephardic immigrants from Rhodes and Turkey settled in East Harlem. The style of the veil and the groom's grooming further support a date between 1925 and 1929.
