Figure 1.-- his white border photograph while not a cabinet card, looks to have been take by a professional photographer. He has the seven kids all lined up behind mother. There is an older teenager, perhaps about 18 years old. She wears a blouse and skirt. We don't see this much in the 19th century. The rest of the children are closer in age, about 2-14 years old. Mom and the girls wear white dresses. We think the girls may be wearing pinafores, but itbis difficult to tell for sure. The boys wear knicker suits with Eton collars.

The younger boy has a small bow. All the children and mother wear black long stockings. The most interesting part of the photograph is surely the headwear. They are all wearing hats. The girls all wear wide-brimmed hats. Mother and the older teens wear decorated hats. The girls wear plainer hats. Noticed the down-turned brims--that is a characteristic 1910s style. Both boys wear rounded-crown hats, a style going out of fashion at the time. Presumably the are posed in front of their home, but it doesn't look much like a house.
