The combination of the deckled edge print format and the specific floral dress patterns strongly points to the 1940s. The presence of stone pines confirms a Mediterranean setting, likely Rhodes. Given the history of the Rhodesli community, this is likely a pre-1944 photograph taken before the deportation of the community.
