Unidetified Family (United States, 1910s)


Figure 1.--This portrait came to us without any information. It looks like a family portrait, but we don't see the parents. We see children and young adults in front a wooden house. We are almost positive that the portrait was taken in the 1910s. One factor here is the hats. The boys and men are wearing hats that I think would be called homburgs. Perhaps a reader will know more anout the hats. These hats and the way the brims are done are characteristic of the 1910s. Also the facts tjhat the boys are wering knickers suggests the 1910s rather than the 1900s. It could be the early 20s, but the 10s seem more likely. The girls wear white summer dresses.
