The Girl with Raven Hair is a single print, and its record links it to the February 1885 issue of *Outing and the Wheelman*, an American monthly devoted to outdoor sport and bicycling. In the mid-1880s the high-wheel bicycle was drawing wide attention, and magazines like this one printed illustrations that blended fashion, leisure, and the new cycling craze. The date and publication details come from an old caption card and have not been independently verified, so the image is best read as an example of how popular print pictured recreation in 1885.
