Figure 1.-- This postcard back portait shows the three Baumgartner children. The back is enscribed, " Friday, July 21, 1911. Riverside Park. Francis Baumgartner, Katherine and Jack." The children look to be about 1-8 years old. We are not sure where Riverside Park is. There are quite a number cities in different states with that name. The children are all dressed in white, popular summerwear at the time. This included dresses and tunics suits as well as white stockings and socks as well as white high-top shoes. Notice the hats, characteristic of the 1910s, both down-turned brims and variously turned brims. |
