Individual Biographies: Maurice Berkey and Sylvan Bush (United States, 1900s)
Figure 1.--This cabinet card is of two little boys. We might have guessed they werre brothers, but written on the back is "Cousins Maurice Berkey and Sylvan Bush". Both boys are wearing fancy Fautleroy blouses, knee pants, and black long stockings. They also hold wide-brimmed gsts. The hats are different. One is a straw hat with a flat top while the other has a rounded crown. We are not sure about the material. Also note the center hair parts. The studio is not identified. The portrait is undated, but the clothes and mount style suggest the 1900s.
