The exact date of this picture was not noted on the picture. Since the seated Lillian Pendroy was born in 1891 an estimated date may be made by the viewer based on the viewers estimate of Lillian's age when the portrait was taken. I have estimated the seated Lillian's  age  to be around fourteen years old, which may make the picture Circa: 1905. There were nine children total and the two in the portrait were the youngest.
