The primary dating anchor is the man's fez, which places the photo before the Italian occupation of Rhodes in 1912, or very shortly thereafter. The boy's sailor suit was at its peak popularity between 1900 and 1915. The woman's traditional Sephardic attire is consistent with this era in the Rhodes community.
