Figure 1.--Here we have a portrait of Arthur Upshaw. We do not know where in lived in the United States, but we know the portait was taken in 1898. Arthur looks to be about 8 years old. He wears a light-colored summer sailor suit with a dark dickey and an embrodered ancor. . It was an unusual style. The top is more like a jacket than a blouse. The jacket is done wih narrow dark piping and a rather distinctive pocket. Arhur's suit is done with knee pants and worn with black long stockings, both standard for boys at the time.

We see that quite a bit at the time, a light-colored outfit worn with black stockings. We see this for both boys abnd girls. His hair is heavily slickdowned as was popular at the turn-of-the-century.
