Dating a royalty & power scene

Crowds and cameras

No cameras means before about 1860; tripods and still photographers to 1920; newsreel cameras to 1950; television vans and phones later.

Dress

Robes stay the same for centuries, but guests' clothes do not — read the hats, skirts and suits of the onlookers.

Buildings

Cathedrals and palace halls point to the country; flags, banners and decorations help narrow it further.
