It's standard Gothic handwriting, and pretty decent at that.

I don't think so.
This looks a lot more like the spencerian handwriting script, where the writer has lapsed slightly in the flourishing. It would fit well with the timeline too, as spencerian handwriting was all the rage from 1850 to the inter-war years.

I think its gothic from my experience during my studies.
Spencerian handwriting got popular in the US from 1860, but would be rare in Europe at that time.

It's definitely Gothic. It was the dominant form of writing in Scandinavia in the 19th and 18th centuries. If you go to any archive in Denmark and look at documents from that era, they will look like this.
