*** Sammie Tate Brewers








Sammie Tate Brewers (United States, about 1905)

sailor Fauntleroy
Figure 1.--Here we see Sammie Tate Brewers. He was 5 years old when his portrait was taken in Kisse, Texas. I'm not sure just what kind of cap he was wearing. It is undated but was probably taken about 1905. Sammie wears a kneepants sailor suit. I'm not sure what the color of the suit would have been. The most interesting aspect of the portrait is that his mother has added a very large white ruffled collar.

Sammie wears a knee pants sailor suit. I'm not sure what the color of the suit would have been. The most interesting aspect of the portrait is that his mother was claerly not satisfied with the sailor collar and has covered it up with a very large white ruffled collar, although she has not added a floppy bow. . This is a good example of how mothers added ruffled collars to garments that were not normally associated with fancy lace or uffled collars. Oftren a boy might wear a suit for a year or two with the ruffled collar, but then then when he was a little older wear it without the collar.
