The subject's fashion—specifically the high stiff collar, boater hat, and jacket cut—is quintessential mid-to-late 1910s menswear. Combined with Albert Fox's birth year of ~1896, his apparent age of 18-22 perfectly aligns with a date between 1914 and 1918.

Location Estimate — AI Estimated

New York City, United States

Confidence: medium

New York, New York

Other possible locations
  • Detroit, Michigan (medium) [biographical] — Albert Fox resided in Detroit between 1917 and 1918, which perfectly overlaps with the estimated date and his apparent age.
  • Dayton, Ohio (low) [biographical] — He moved to Dayton by 1923, but the fashion and his apparent age suggest the photo predates this move.

The subject is dressed in typical 1910s summer menswear, including a boater hat and high collar, with the reflection of the street and possibly a bicycle wheel visible in the glass behind him.

Genealogical context

Albert Fox lived in Manhattan, New York in 1910 and Detroit, Michigan in 1917-1918. Given the garment industry context (tailor shop window) and his family's residence in NY during this era, New York is highly probable, though Detroit is a strong alternative.
