Figure 1.--All we know about this boy is that he was English and his name was Paul de Brensky. He wears a velvet Fauntleroy suit consisting of a collar-buttoning jacket and knee pants. He has a lace collar covering his shoulders with a small light-colored boe, perhaps blue, and a silk sah hanging down at his side. There is no way of knowing, but we woild guess it was red. He has white stockings anf high-top shoes. White stockings are something you do not see with American long stockings at the time. His hair is parted in the center, rather unusual for a boy. He looks to be about 6 years old. It is a CDV suzed portrait, but was not a CDV so we do not know where the portrait was taken. The portrait is not dated, but we would say was taken in the 1880s.
