This cabinet card portrait shows James and Helen Gilman. They look to be about 1-4 years old. It is well poised as one might expect with a ain Street studio. James is leaning toward his baby sister. We are not sure how to date the portrait, but would guess about 1890. Helen wears a white baby dress. James wears a kilt suit with an Eton collar anf floppy bow. The kilt suit top was a blouse with sailor styling. It has stripe and buttom trim, but not a 'V' front. The blouse stripes and buttons are continued on to the kilt suit. He has black long stockings and high-top shoes. The studio was C. Isaacs on Main Steet in Madison, Wisconsin.
