Harper Brothers (United States, 1880s)


Figure 1.-- This cabinet card portrait shows the four Harper boys (Charles, Joseph, Frank, and Fred). The boys look to be about 5-15 years old. All but the older teenage boy wear Eton-style collars with bows. Two of the boys wear unusual print, rarther than white collars. We can't make out much detail about their jackets, but the younger boys are wearing knee pants and long stockings. The studio was Phillips Photos of Kirkwood, Missouri. The portrait is undated, but we would guess the 1880s, probably the early 80s.
