Figure 1.-- Here we have a formal studio portrait of two brothers Royce Arthur Saunderson (born Sept 9, 1920) and Heriman Hind Sauderson (born 14 years March 22, 1926). The boys were 10 and 14 years old on their birthdays. The portrait was taken sometime in 1930. The boys wear matching three pice, single breasted suits. They are both knickers suits. While they wear identical suits, they have different ties and knee socks. Boys still commonly wore staid, solid colored long stockings in the 1930s, but in the 30s brightly colored patterned kneecocks became very popular.

Notice that were many varied patterns and not just Argyles. The photo is mounted on a matte folder that when closed is about 6.5" x 9.5". The photo itself is about 4.75" x 7.75". The boys were from Worcester, Massachusetts. The script is difficult to read, but it looks like the Heny Studio.
