This is a cabinet card portrait of the Harrison boys. The older and seated brother has his feet resting on a pillow. The younger beruffled boy with shoulder length curls rests his hand on his brother's arm. The photographer was Sympson in Carthage, Illinois. They were the sons of George Harrison. I can't make out the middle initial written on the back of the card. There is a different town written on the back, but I can't make it out. The boys look to be about 5 and 11 years old. The younger boy has ringlet curls and wears a light colored Fauntleroy suit with alarge lace-trimed collar and floppy bow. His older brother wears a cdark collar buttoning knee pants suit, also with a lace-trimed collar and floppy bow. Both boys wear black long stockings. The ringlet curl and short hair combination is not one we see to commonly in the photographic record. More common were ringlets without an older brother or with sisters. We suspect that the reason was that most younger brothers wanted to dress and wear their hair like their older brothers.
