** American children Frances Nehil Lynford Nehil









Figure 1.--This looks like a a paper framed portrait, not a cabinet card. The photogrph itself may have been a snaspshot taken in the family living room. The paper frame has elaborate ruling. It is not dated, but would have been taken about 1930, probably in the early-30s. The children are identified as Francis and Lynford Nehil. Wethink they arefrom Tennessee. They look to be about 5-13 years old. Lynford wears a short pants Eton suit with a sports collar, patterned knee socks, and low-cut shoes. Frances has a massive hairdo and wears a striped dress with long stockings. These were not coldweather stockings. Long stockings were still common in the 1920s, but beginning to go out of style in the 30s.
