Figure 1.-- The handwriting on the back of this cabinet card is unclear. His first name is George. The last name is unclear but looks to us like Duere. The portrait was taken in 1909. Which is roughly confirmed by the new style mount. All we know about Georrge is tjhat when he grew up he was 'Harriet's dad'. George wears a stylish white sailor cap with a chevron badge and matching white sailor suit. There is what looks to be a light-blur collar and stripes anf matching scarfe. It was a knickers suit. We begin to see American boys wearing knickers rather than knee pants at this time. White sailor suits were popular summer wear, but were often worn with black long stockings especially by older boys. George looks to be bout 8-9 years old. He wears high-top lace up shoes. The studio information was impressed, common with the new style mounts. The portrait was taken at Post's Studio in Denver, Colorado.
