Figure 1.--This cabinet card shows the five Lloyd children in September 1880. They are: Hettie, Sophy, Helen, Eddie and Frank if we are reading the handwriting correctly. Mother may have isted the children by age. They may about 5-15 years old. The girls seem to be dressed very simialrly wih what look like plain front buttoning jacketed dresses and pleated skirts (we notice differences in the pleating) in different colors. The collar and wrist trim is also similar. The boys are the yoinget and dressed differently, although close in age. Both boys have Eton collars with small bowtie like bows. .

The yonger boy's jacket has what looks like a velvet suite with a decorative button front that has connecting tabs. The slightly older boy has what looks like a Norfolk suit with rather ide straight-leg kneepants. The girl at front wears strap shies. the boy has high-top shoes. ach of the girls have long hair done in waves. Both wear dark long stockings. The cbinent card has a blue rule. The photographer was Robert Faulkner in London. The studio information at the bottom does not inficate the location. This was not common in Britain either for CDVs or cabinet cards. The one excetion was London. I suppose that London was so large nd important that Londoners that London was not all that useful as a location.
