Figure 1.-- Jasper Barnes looks to be about 3 years old. His portrait was taken by Alpha Lomax in Atlanta, Georgia. He has short above the shoulder ringlet curls and wears a dark, traditionally styles sailor suit. The portrait is undated. The fact that is not an albumen print and the type of paper fram suggest to us that it was not taken at the turn-of-the 20th century, but in the late 1900s or early 1910s. The shot ringlets here are another factor.

The shot ringlets here are another factor. Ringlets were becoming less common in the 1900s. We still see long ringlets in the early 1900s, but much less so in the late 1900s. Ringlets did not disappear compleletly. We we still see younger boys wearing short ringlets in the 1910s, especially before World War I.
