The combination of the high-waisted women's dresses, the specific cut of the young man's suit, and the Italian-language caption (consistent with the Italian period in Rhodes) strongly points to the early 1920s. The prickly pear cactus is a ubiquitous environmental marker for Rhodes.

Cultural context: The fashion silhouettes (high waists and lace detailing) are reminiscent of late 1910s Western trends, but given the conservative nature of the Rhodes community and the Italian administration context, an early 1920s date is most probable.
