Figure 1.--This undated cabinent portrait was taken about 1900-05. The clothes he is wearing could have been worn any time during the 1890s, perhaps with a larger floppy bow. The mount style, however, suggests that the portrait was taken after the turn-of-the 20th century. The boy was Frank H. Scherer who is photographed standing by a chair. . Frank looks to be about 3-4 years old. His hair is done in shortish ringlet curls. He wears a fancy Fauntleroy blouse with a moderzte-sized polka-dot bow, knee pants, and long stockings.

The mount style, however, suggests that the portrait was taken after the turn-of-the 20th century. It was a cabinent card, sized 4 1/4" wide by 6 1/4" high. The card was not the traditional cabinent card style, but rather a greyish-green mount with a the portrait done in a medium-sized oval area. Some of the ovals were smaller. The photographer was (L?) Miller which was imprinted under the oval, the corner of the mount was more common for these studio impressions. The boy was Frank H. Scherer who is photographed standing by a chair. .
