Figure 1.-- Here we have a cabinet card portrait of the Jordan children ion July 6, 1891. There are four children, two boys and two girls: Beula, Mabel, Elwyn, and Wayne. They look about 4-15 years old. The girls identical long dresses. The boys wear standard sack suits. The younger boys wears a knee pants suit with black long stockings and low-cut shoes. Low cut-shoes were not common at the time. Most children and even adults wore high-top shoes. We can't see much of the suit his older brother is wearing, but it is like vry similar to that worn by his little brother. Although taken at the height of the Fauntleroy Craze, there is little hint of Fauntleroy styling except modest (by contemporary standards) bows. The cabinent card mount has stylish lettering. The studio was Curtis and Ross in Lewiston, Maine.
