This first communion portrait shows two unidentified boys. As they are addressed identically, thery are presumably brothers, apparently fraternal twins. We know they were from South Bend, Indiana. And because of the placard we know it was 1923. The boys war white sailor tops, note they are not blousewith white knee pants, long stockings and shoes. Here they are holding flowers. They look to be about 8 yeras old, a little older than thev age for modern first communions. We cant't read the studiuo name, something like Polo???. These would haver been special first communion outfits, not what the boys generally wore when dressing up, especially the white long stockings.
