Figure 1.--This cabinet portrait shows an American boy wearing a Fauntleroy blouse and floppy bow with long ringlet curls. The ringlets are not as well defibed as was often the case, but he has a large curl on the top of his hed. He wears white pants that look go be knickers, but this is not ebtirely sure. Even though he wears a white outfit (blouse and pants), he wears black long stockings. He also has high-top shoes which were common at the time. Written on the verso is: "Lawrence Ray Gard, Age 5, Taken 1904." The photographer was Burnham with no location indicated. The green-grey cabinet mount is one of the new styles that became popular at the turn-of-the 20th century. The white whicker furniture is another indicator of the early-20th century.

Some HBC readers tell us that they would like to be able to access new pages, but do not want to receive E-mails on every new page added to HBC. We have also for several years now experienced problems dealing with AOL. Thus we have created this page for HBC readers. We will list new pages or existing pages to which we have added additional information. We used to maintain a page like this. We know from this experience that we sometimes forget to add a new page, but we will try to remember to do this as much as possible. There will not be a link on our home page so you will want to add this to your favorites/book marks. We plan to only make this page available to readers who support HBC. There may be occasional changes in the URL. Just let me know if you have any question about this new HBC feature.
