United States Boys' Clothes: 1898 Michigan Family--the Dunning Family


Figure 1.-- Here we have another large farm family. It is the Dunning family who were photographed on the steps of the front porch of their frame farmhouse in Redford, Michigan. There look to be three generations. Two of the younger boys at front wear blouses and floppy bows. The other wears a sailor suit. All three are barefoot. They also have cropped hair.

An older boy who looks to be about 12 wears a janyty cap with a shirt, knee pants and long stockings. One little girl looks to be wearing a white dress. The portrait is compleye with the family hound. One unusual aspect for what looks to be a well estanlished, staid family is what appears to be a bottle of booze.
