Figure 1.--This oval format cabinet card shows the two Priest brothers, aged 2-5 years old. We believe the portrait would have been taken in the 1900s, but the early-1910s is possible. The writing on the back looks like "Gerald Kerr Priest age 5 years; Harold Rodney Priest age 2 years 8 months". Harold has curly hair and wears a tunic suit with a black belt, wide collar, and short socks. Notice the bows on his shoes. In the 19th century, long stockings were more common. His big brother wears a sailor suit with bloomer knickers, white long stockings, and strap shoes. It is a light-colored suit, probably light blue.
