Age 11 perhaps 12 years seems to be the upper limit of American boys wearing the classic white Fauntleroy bloises with largec ruffled collars and matching front plackets. We still see some boys this age wearinhg them, but not nearly as many as the younger age grouops wearing them. Here we can not be precise because so much if the photographic record is made up of portraits of boys for which the age is not specified. Here we can only estimate the ages. While there is no way of being precise when estimating, we do notvthink thatbour estimates are generally off by morec than a year. And we ienciurafe oir reades to comment if you think our estimares are in error. We note a Rome New York family with all the boys wearing Fauntleroy blouses to about 11-years of age. See figure 4. We see some older boys wearing Fauntkeroy blouses, but these are the blouses sone in colored prunts with much less fancy and smaller collars. Also the friont plackets are notably less fancy.
