Figure 1.--This cabinet card is a portrait of Frank Seward and his cbrother (name not specified). The boys look to be about 4-6 years old. Both boys have large white collars. One boy wears an sailor suit with a clearly destinguishavle "V" collar. Sailor suit styles had not yet been standardized. His brother wears a cutaway jacket with a small white bow. Note his striped knee pants do not match the jacket. Both boys wear knee pahnts with black long stockings. The photographic studio D. Harvey in Tipton, Indiana. The studio logo adds 'Enamel Finish', but we cannot yet date that. The portrait is not dated, but we would guess the late 1870s.

The mother here appears to have decided that the sailor suit was appropriate for the younger boy. The photographic studio D. Harvey in Tipton, Indiana.
