Figure 1.--This cabinent portrait of Michael Carmichael Carr was taken during Christmas 1880. It was taken at a studio on Market St in San Francisco, California. This and other portraits were from an album of a family that lived in San Francisco and San Mateo, California. It is notable because it shows Michael wearing a traditionally styled sailor suit and soft cap in 1880. This is one of the first American portraits we have noted with such traditional styling.

This cabinent portrait of Michael Carmichael Carr, rather a strange name. Michael's portrait was taken during Christmas 1880. It appears to have been taken in Califirnia, probably San Francisco. This and other portraits were from an album of a family that lived in San Francisco and San Mateo, California. It is notable because it shows Michael wearing a traditionally styled sailor suit and soft cap in 1880. Note the streamer. He seems to be wearing a lanyard, but it aooears to go all rge way around his neck which is unusual. This is one of the first American portraits we have noted with such traditional styling.
