Figure 1.-- Here we have what looks like a cabinent card, but without any information about the photographer. It is a portrait of two brothers--Clyde and Paul Atteberry. (The last few letters are difficult to read.) They look to be about 10-13 years old. The boys are accomanied by their faithful pooch Puffy who seems quite happy to pose with the boys. The portrait is undated, but we would guess was taken in the late-1890s.

Clyde and Paul Atteberry (United States, probably 1890s)

Here we have what looks like a cabinent card, but without any information about the ohotographer. It is a portrait of two brothers--Clyde and Paul Atteberry. (The last few letters are difficult to read.) They look to be about 10-13 years old. The boys are holding their caps. One boy has a cap which looks a little like an Oliver Twist cap. The older boy has what looks like a flat cap. The boys wear very similar double-breasted knee pants suits with black long stockings and high-top shoes. They both have watch fobs which presumably have watches in the pocket. We begin to see more boys wearing these fobs in the 1890s. Inexpensive pocket watches had become available, but wrist watches were not yet available. The jackets have all kinds of flap pockets. The two boys are accomanied by their faithful pooch Puffy who seems quite happy to pose with the boys. The portrait is undated, but we would guess was taken in the late-1890s.
