Figure 1.--All we know about this snapshot is that it is American. As it seems to be a snapshot we would guess it was taken about 1910. A dealer suggested the child was a boy, but we are mot at all sure about it. Notice the elaborate lace collar and very plain dress. |
We have found some images tht we cannot identify other than they are American. We can use the image to make assessments, such as chronological period or gender. These are images, however, that we have had difficulty assessing. We would welcome any insights that readers may be able to offer.
All we know about this snapshot is that it is American. As it seems to be a snapshot we would guess it was taken about 1910. A dealer suggested the child was a boy, but we are mot at all sure about it. The hat in particular seems more like one a girl would wear. Notice the elaborate lace collar and very plain dress. A British reader writes, "Looked at the picture. I thought it was a boy but foot wear might be the type worn by girls."
