This is post-card back portrait of two brothers. They are identified on the back as Alvin and Harry Batdorf. The older boys wears a knickers suit waih an unusual tie, probanly a poorly tied bowtie. His littler brother wears a tunic suit with short sleeves. Both boys wear long stockings anf high-top shoes. The portrait is undated. This was a CYKO postcard and we know they first appeared in 1904 and continued into the 1920s. The white whicker furniture was popular at the turn-of-the-20th century, suggesting the early 1900s. Knickers were, however, more common in the 1910s than the 1900s. So we believe this portrait was probably taken in the late-1900s or early-1910s.
