Here we have two Hispanic boys. All we know for sure is that the portrait was taken in 1908. The portrait was taken in Arizona. The boys wear dark knicker suits with long black stockings, the standard outfit at the time. We are a little confused by the portrait. Since they are photographed together and wear virtually identical outfits, you might assume that they are brothers, but we do not understand why different age brothers would have their First Communion on the same day. It is interesting hat these formal First Communion portaits appear aftter the turn of the 20th century. We see very few such portraits in the 1890s. We are not sure why such an observeable change occurred at this time.
