Figure 1.--Here we have a snapshot of an unidentified family on what looks like a pleasant family outing for which the chilren were dressedup. There are five children. The children look to be about 1-11 years old. It is likely that there were more children to come. Presumably the cheery lady is the mother and father took the photograph. The younger children wear white dresses, we think a girl and a boy. The middle boy would have been about 5-years old and wears a fashionable tunic suit with an Eton collar and small floppy bow. We are not sure about the color. The older boys wear knee pants. One with suspenders and what looks like a self-belt with a shirt or blouse. The other as part of a double-breasted suit and what looks like a shirt waist. The children wear black long stockings. The snapshot is undated, but because the boys are wearing knee pants, it is almost certainly the 1900s.

Mother wears a kind of bee hive hair do with a long skirt. The younger children wear white dresses, we think a girl and a boy.

One with suspenders and what looks like a self-belt with a shirt or blouse. This is one of the earliest self-belts we have noted. As he has suspenders, it does not seem very functional. The other as part of a double-breasted suit and what looks like a shirt waist. The children wear black long stockings. The snapshot is undated, but because the boys are wearing knee pants, it is almost certainly the 1900s.
