Figure 1.--This studio portait shows Robert Greely and his two younger siblings. the portrait is undated, but the grey paper frame looks like the 1910s to us. We are not sure at all as to what Robert is wearing. It does not look like a button-on two pice sailor outfit, although the image is not very detailed. It looks like he is wearing a sailor dress. But the way the hem hangs, we suapect is may be a one-piece knee pants sailor outfit. This would be, however, rare withour a waist band or belt of some kind. Sonyour guess here is as good as ours. It is rare for an older boys of school age to still be wearing a dress in the 1910s, but not unknon. He is also wearing white long stockings. We also do not know what Robert is holding.

This studio portraait shows Robert Greely and his two younger siblings. the portrait is undated, but the grey paper frame looks like the 1910s to us. There are three children in the portit which helps us estimate the children's age. It is rare for children to be separated less than a year and a half. The baby looks to be less tan a year old whivh wuold mean that the middle child wearing a plain white dress, white long stockings, and bkack strap shoes is about 3 years old. We are not sure about gender, but suspect the child is a girl. Robert looks to be a good bit older than the middle child. We would guess about 6-7 years old.
