Here we see four English boys in a postcard back portrait during 1924. We have names on the back and their ages, but the names are a bit of a jumble. We think that they are the Rathbone boys, but they could be the Brindley boys. The back reads, "Jan. 1924, Bernard 14 yrs, John 12 yrs 11 mnths, Walter Brindley 11 yrs 8 mnths, and Charles Rathbone 6 yrs 5 mnths." This has to be a family not a school portarit because Charles is so much younger than the other boys. But the older boys are so close in age that are surely not all brothers, probably one is a cousin. The older boys all wear identical dark suits with Eton collars. It shows that Eton collars were still worn in 1920s decade, we think mostly at schools and vto an edtent when dressing nup. This could be their school uniforms. If they were all brothers, they could have been identical regular suits. As they do not seem to be brothers, a school uniform seems more likely. The portarit may have been taken at home which would explain the younger brother.
