Freeland brothers Milard and Joe German boys clothes: chronology -- the 1900s sailor suits
Figure 1.--This large 5x7 in oval format cabinet card shows the two Freeland brothers, Millard Freeland and Joe Freeland. Jim Batey is unidentified as their grandfather. The mount does not indicate the studio and where it was taken, something increasingly common with the new style mount after the turn of the 20th century. The children look to be about 1-3 years old. The younger child wears a white baby dress. His big brother wears a white Fauntleroy blouse with knee pants and long stockings. His hair is done in short ringlets. We still see many boys with ringlets in the 1900s, not as many boys as in the 1890s and fewer older boys. This was the last decade that we see really large numbers of boys with ringlets. The portrait is undated, but the cabinet card oval mount and color suggests the 1900s.
