Hi all - have just had a look at this and as a fashion historian it doesn't look very 1700s to me! If it's a woman the hairstyle is more typical of the 1860s. Plus too many people think '1850' means '18th Century' (a very helpful confusion if you're an antique dealer...). Couldn't comment on dating gurdies as I'm a novice there Best
