Figure 1.--This is a CDV portrait of Charlie Wheeler. His proper name would of course be Charles Weeler. We do not know where he was from. We do know the portrait was taken in June 1866. The CDV has a 2cent revenue stamp on the back. Charlie has long hair over his ears. He looks to be about 5 years old. We are not sure if he is wearing a tunic or a dress. It is styled rather like a tunic with a diagonal stripe, but cutmore like a dress. It is done in plaid material. Plaid was a popular choice for boy dresses as they could be likened to Scottish kilts.
