This American cabinet card portrait has no accompamying information. It is a new style cabinent card appearing around the turn-of-the century, many of which did not indicate the studio or the location. The boys look to be wearing Norfolk jackets wuthout the pleating and with knickers and black long stockings. They have bpw ties which cover their collars. Their little sister wears a white junior wedding dress and veil with white long stockings. The clothes and the style of the mount suggest it was taken round 1920. It could be the late-1910s or early-20s. We would guess the early-20s because the boys are wearing low-cut shoes. It looks like only the girl is doing her First Communion, but her older brothers were photographed with her. The children look to be about 6-11 years old.
