This cabinet card studio portrait show five beautifully dressed children will carefully done hair. The children are three girls and two boys, ienbtified as Lewis, Isabel, George, Marguerite, and Betavia. Presumably they are all siblings, but their last name is not indicated. The children look to be about 3-15 years old. The two boys look to be about 8-12 years old. The photograph was for 'Hattie and Mattie'. The two boys wear suits. The younger boy has a ruffled Fauntleroy collar. The older boy has a wing collar. The three girls have varied hair styles and white dresses. The portrait is not dated. We believe it was probably taken about 1900-05 because it was a new style mount. The very late 1980s is possible, but less likely. The mount measures 5-3/4" x 6-7/8, slightly larger than the classic cabinet card. The studio was Morse & Kirk of Hudson, Ohio.
