Figure 1.--This postcard-back portrait is not identified, bit as it was sent by waht look like N.P. Nelson, it is safe to say that these are the Nelson children. The AZO stamp box indicated that the portrait was taken 1904-18, we suspect it was taken in the late-1900s decade. The children look to be bout 2-8 years old. The yuonger children look to be wearing basic dresses. The boy wears a double-breasted suit with a huge Fauntleroy ruffled collar and we think a modest bow. The gitl rars a white dress with extended puff sleeves+, a necklace and a hair bow. The star of the portrait is a wonderfully patient pooch which the children clearly adore. The writer speacks of Minnesota and Michigan so they surely came from the upperr-Midwest. Melson is a Scandinavian name and many Scanfibavians settked in the upper-Midwest.
