*** MacCarr Boy









Figure 1.--This beautiful portrait of a mother and child was taken in Wabash, Indiana on December 13, 1900. It has a heavy paper matte with a small oval portrait. The little boy looks to be about 3 years old and still has ringlet curls. He wears a lapel suit, but done with sailor trip. Notice the three button trimon the knee pants and long stockings. We don't know his first name, but it was the MacCarr family. His mother was E.P. MacCarr which means they were of Scottish origins. The image quality is not good, but the date is useful in not only dating fashion trends, but also photographic trends as well.

MacCarr Boy (United States, 1900)

This beautifulmportrait of a mother and child was taken in Wabash, Indiana on December 13, 1900. It has a heavy paper matte with a small oval portrait. We see these small oval portrait quite a bit at the turn of the 20th century and during the 1900s. They declined in popularity during the1910s and we no longer see them in the 1920s. This was an early one. We find very few from the 1890s. We see oval portraits in the 1890s, but not ones where the oval is only a small part of the matte. The matte measures 10" X 12", unusually large. The oval photpgraph is about 3 1/2" X 5". The little boy looks to be about 3 years old and still has ringlet curls. He wears a lapel suit, but done with sailor trip. Notice the three button trim on the knee pants which as was almost always the casevwere worn with long stockings. We don't know his first name, but it was the MacCarr family. His mother was E.P. MacCarr which means they were of Scottish origins. The image quality is not good, but the date is useful in not only dating fashion trends, but also photographic trends as well.
