Figure 1.--We believe that the boy here is Keith Birkin, although the writing is a little indestinct. He wears a rather unsual dark shirt almost like a jacket with two straps closing the top. We think he is wearing white short anys although it is a little indistinct. He also has white long stockings. He was 5 years old. It was a studio portrait done in a two-ply paper frame. The studio was Louis Weber in Salt Lake City, Utah. The portrait is undated, but the white stockings suggest the 1910s to us. The early-20s is possible.

The Noko stamp boxon the post card confirms this basic time range.
