Figure 1.--We note a portrait of a fashionably outfitted London boy. It is undated, but we would guess the 1870s. His name was George Charles Smith and he was 4 1/2 years old. He has a straw boater hat and wears a dress with a large white collar and a dress done in vertical stripes. He has short white socks. Image courtesy of Album1900. |

It almost looks like there is something wrong with his hair.
