Ordinary Biographies: Nathinel and Bertha Gilparicn, (United States, 1892)
Figure 1.-- One example of siblings wearing matching dresses is a cabinet card studio portatit of Nathaniel and Bertha Gilpatricn in 1892. Gilpatrick would have been more common, but the incription on the card is definitely Gilpatricn. They were from Richmond, Maine and look to be about 3 years old. The children are the same height, but Bertha looks a little older. The dresses are identical, very plain long-sleeved with a decormnative bow on the nodice. Even the fancy white collars are identical.

Even the fancy white collars are identical. We are unsure about the color of the dresses. The dresses are very long, but they seem to be wearing black long stockings. The long length probably was a to make the dresses so the children could wer them for at least a couple years. The studio was Anserson in Richmond.
