Figure 1.-- This postcard-back portrait pictures a grandmother and her five grand children. They look to br about 6-14 yeras old. For some reason granny is not in the chair and surounded by the chikdren. They all seem very serious. The portrait as taken outside of granny's modest home, we think in the 1910s, perhaps during the War (1914-18) as there are no adult men present in the portrait. There is a message on the back of the postcard, probably from one of the parents to a soldier at the front. Click on the image to see the message.

Note tge embroidery on her dress. They all seem very serious. The portrit as taken outside of granny's modest home, we think in the 1910s, perhaps during the War (1914-18 as there are no adult men present in the portrait. The children are variously dressed, perhaps from different families. The youngest girl wears a plaid dress and is holding something, perhaps a black wreath. That might have denoted a funeral, but one is wearing a black arm band. Her older sister wears a blouse and pleated skirt. The younger boys wwears a knee pants sailor suir with unusual stripe detailing and a scarfe of the same color as the suit. The older boys wear suits. One a collar buttoning suit, the other a vested suit with a Schiller (sports) collar. There is a message on the back of the postcard, probably from one of the parents to a soldier at the front.
