Figure 1.-- Here we have before and after portraits of George King from Buchannon, Michigan. He seems to have been called Georgie. He looks to be about 5 years old. In the before portrait he has ringlet curls done with a center part and white hairbows. He wears a crisp white Fauntleroy blouse with a ruffled collar and matching front and ciff ruffles. With the blouse he has a large coloful floppy bow. After his hair was cut short, Georgie got a new suit with sailor styled lapels. |

The portraits would have been taken on the same day or withon days of each other. Notice the same whicker chair in the background. The portraits are not dated, but we would guess that they were taken in the 1900s, probably about 1905.
