Figure 1.-- This CDV shows Frank Barker, a boy about 6 years old. He is dressed in an overcoat. Thee are no lapels. The front folds over and buttons at the top near the small collar. Notice the piping and embroidery on the coat. We do not know what he is wearing underneath. He has a high-side cap with a rounded crown. He also has stiped stockings, but apparently only one double band. The CDV is undated, but looks like the early-1870s to us or perhaps the late-60s. The photographer is Brownell in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
