This little American boy wears a velvet-trimmed, pleated dress with a simulated long velvet vest. The long-skirted dress looks to have a separate vest and jacket, but it was porbably all one piece. They were just made to look like separate elenents. We think this was more a style for a boy than a little girl. This needs, however, to be confirmed. The elements rather suggest a kilt suit. Notice the striped stockings. The photographer was Mathieu Schramm, Santa Rosa, California. On the back of the cabinet card the boy is identified as Charles Cox. Hr looks to ne about 3-4 years old. The card is not datedm butlooks like the 1870s to us.
