Figure 1.-- Here we have an undated CDV of two children, presumably brothers. We would date the portrait, becuse of the CDV format and the clothing, to the 1860s. It is definitely not from the 1850s, but could be from the early-1870s. A dealer believes it is enscribed in pencil Master Fox, but we think it says "chas Fox" or Charles Fox.

The dealer writes, "The little boy with the curly hair seems to have a capital letter "F" on his shirt as you can see." I don't see this. Only one child is identified. The photographer is Wm. Reiterman at the Sturgis Art Gallery in Sturgis, Michigan. The boys wear different outfits. The younger boy wears a rather plain collar buttoning jacket. His older brother wears an elaborately embroiders cut-away jacket. This ome is unsual in that the blouse has the same embroidery as the jacket. The boys has similar hair styles, but the younger boys tip sausage curl much larger than the hair styled on his older brother.

Figure 1.-- Here are enlargements of the two boys.
