Figure 1.--Here we see the whole familly. We have a cabinet card portait of an unidentified English family is undated, but we think was taken during the late-1880s or very early-90s. The dealer reports that the portrait came with a lot of Australian photographs, so the family may have emigrated to Australia. The studio was B. Barry, Clifton House, Barking Road East. We think that with English portraits when the city is not specified that it probably means London. The two boys look to be about 3-5 years old. There also is a very young baby.

Both boys wear classic knee pants sailor suits. While the sailor suit for boys originted in England, we mostly see younger boys wearing them in contrast to many countries on the continent. Notice that the younger boy wears socks rather than stockings like American boys would. The younger boiy has aoy gun. The older boy wears a neat cap with some sort off embroidered crest at the front. We have not seen a lot of caps like that. The younger boy probably had one as well, although we don't see it.
