We note a studio cabinet card portrait of three unidentified children who look to be about 2-6 yers old. Given that they are close in age, the boy may even be age 7. Usually three children are not just separated by 2 years. The girls have hair boys which are strongly associated with t he 1910s. As a result and because of the card mount style we think the portrait was probably taken about 1910. The girls both wear similar white dresses. The boy's tunic is unlike any one we have seen before. There is a very large collar with a back flap. There are buttons on the front, but they are not meant to close the front. It looks like it is an open tunic, but that looks oo be an affect. What looks like the outer part has vertical stripes. What looks llke the inner part has a cheveron pattern. The tunic looks to be very long, falling below the knees, unusual for tunics. The studio was Wm. H. Schmdt in Chicaco.
