We have two rather similar portraits of Chicago boy Earl Sanderson Thomson. We suspect that Sanderson was his mother's name. The portraits are undated, but the clothing and mount styles allow us to date them at the turn-of-the 20th century. We would guess 1898-1903, in part of the shift in mount styles. We not only know the boy's name, but we know his age. The two studio portaits show him at 4 (almost 5) and 9 years of age. The two portraits show how popular the sailor suit was. Earl wears a dark sailor suit in both portrairs. He wears a sailor suit with an open jacket at age 4 years. The second portrait shiws him wearing a sailor blouse at age 9 years. The detailing on both is rather plasin. Both portraits were taken at the Brund studios.
