Figure 1.--This cabinet card portrait shows an unidentified American family, we think in the late-1900s, but the early-1910s is possible. The portrait is undated, but the mount suggests the 1900s, perhaps late in the decade. The mount is one of the new styles which often did not identify the studio and location. We believe the portrair shows grandfather surrounded by his nine grandchildren. They look to be about 1015 years of age. They are all emaculately dressed.

We believe the portrait shows grandfather surrounded by his nine grandchildren. They look to be about 10-15 years of age. They are all emaculately dressed. The youngest boy (exempting the babies) wears a velvet suit and ringlet curls. His slightly older brother wears a sailor suit. The next boy wears a standard sack lapel suit. He may be about 6-years old. The girls all wear dresses, the younger ones white dresses. The girls also have hair bows. All the children wear dark long stokings, even the girls in white dresses.
