circa 1914
✨AI Reasoning — AI Estimated
The subject's apparent age of 16-20 aligns with Albert Fox's birth year of 1896, placing the photo in the early-to-mid 1910s. The high, stiff collar and high-buttoning suit jacket are classic hallmarks of Edwardian and 1910s men's fashion. The vignetted studio style further supports a pre-1920 date.
