This portrait shows an American boy wearing a button-on sailor suit. The buttons are quite large as would be common with a younger boy's outfit. The outfit looks like a play suit and Jackie is holding a ball. I'm not sure about the color, but it would presumably be white with blue trim. The boy is identified on the back as Jackie Hardy. He looks to be about 3 years old. The photograph is undated, but was probbly raken about 1940. Play suits like this were worn in the 1930s and early to mid-1940s.
