Figure 1.--The younger Syder brother wears a small jacket and matching skirt. I am unsure about the color, but it looks to be solid colored material. He looks to be wearing a fancy blouse. His older brother wears a kneepants suit wih long stockings. Both boys have similar ruffled collars and floppy bows--a kind of Fauntleroy touch. They both have short hair cuts.

Syder Brothers (United States, 1890s)

The Syder brothers had their portrait taken in the 1890s. Sydner is written on the back of the page, but is is unclear, it could be Snyder--a more common name. The boys were photographed at the Williams studio in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. The image is undated, but we would guess the early 1890s. The boys look to be about 3 and 7 years old. The younger boy wears a small jacket and matching skirt. The length of the skirt suggests that he will be wearing it for another year or two. I am unsure about the color, but it looks to be solid colored material. He looks to be wearing a fancy blouse. His brother wears a kneepants suit wih long stockings. Note both boys wear the old style jackets that are made primarily just to be bittoned at the top, although the older boy's jacket has a second button. Both boys have similar ruffled collars and floppy bows--a kind of Fauntleroy touch. They both have short hair cuts.
