Accepted answer
I think we can narrow down your date-range to 1891-1903.
According to the Directory of London Photographers, 1841-1908, by Michael Pritchard, Hermann Ernst's studio was only in St. Johns Wood between those dates. After that it moved to premises in Finchley Road, where it remained until after 1908 (the last date covered by the directory).
His entry in the directory reads:
Ernst, Hermann
1 Waverley Pl, St Johns Wood N.W.
1891-03
14 Finchley Road N.W.
1904-08-
An alternative source would be the London Post Office directories for the period. A few of these are available online, and others can be searched on Ancestry if you have a subscription (or at a Local library). The extract below is from the directory for 1899 (the only one I have at home for that period):
Some of these may also be available from the University of Leicester Special Collections which have a number of directories available to search and view online.
