Figure 1.-- This cabinet card portrait has no information to help with our assessments, even studio information. All we have besides the clothing to go on is the card mount. And this suggests the 1900s. Along with the clothes we would suggest the mid-1900s, about 1905. We do not know much about women's dresses, but the two women wear dresses that do not look like the 1890s to us. And the boy's knee pants were no longer common in the the 1910s. The boy's lace-up high-top shoes also suggest the late-1900s. Button shoes were more common in the early-1900s. The portrait shows the mother and father. We think the other woman is an older daugter. The boy looks to be about 10 years old. He wears a vested suit with knee pants and long stockings. We are not sure just what he neckwear is, but it is small compared to the large floppy bows commonly worn in the 1890s. Notice the bell he is holding.
