Figure 1.--This portrait shows an American American boy wearing a dark blouse and floppy bow. We are not sure about the colors. The bow could have been read, w are not at all sure what color the blouse was. He had a stiff Eton collar. He also wears knee pants and probably black long stockings. The portrit is undated, but looks to have been taken about 1905. We do not know where it was taken, but we do have the boy's name--Charles Dorff.

This portrait shows an American American boy wearing a dark blouse and floppy bow. We are not sure about the colors. The bow could have been read, we are not at all sure what color the blouse was. He had a stiff detachable Eton collar. He also wears knee pants and probably black long stockings. The portrit is undated, but looks to have been taken about 1905. This was a sepia photograph done like a post card photograph, but without the postcard back. This all places the image after the turn-of-the 20th century. We do not know where it was taken, but we do have the boy's name--Charles Dorff. Charles looks about 8 years old.
