The text explicitly states Moïse Cadranel finished his studies in 1946 and is 'currently' working as a mechanic. Joseph Cadranel's biography ends with his service starting in 1938 and subsequent travel. The ages of the subjects (Joseph born 1922, Moïse born 1929) in the portraits appear to be mid-20s and late-teens respectively, placing the capture date firmly in the late 1940s.
