The strongest dating evidence is the younger woman's hairstyle and long necklace, which are iconic of the 1920s. The man's three-piece suit and the older woman's fur-trimmed garment support a late 1920s to early 1930s timeframe. The heavy physical damage suggests an older print rather than a mid-century reproduction.

Fashion/Grooming

strong (1920-1929)

Man in a formal three-piece suit with a high-waisted waistcoat and narrow tie

moderate (1920-1935)

Environment

Neutral mottled studio backdrop

weak (1900-1940)

Cultural context: The young woman's hairstyle and jewelry are very specific to the mid-to-late 1920s. While Sephardic communities often lagged, the 'flapper' influence reached urban centers like Rhodes and NYC quickly. A +3 to +5 year adjustment is applied to the peak fashion era.
