Figure 1.-- This Artura postcard back portrait shows 14-years old Raymond Ulferte with his baby brother Russel. We are not sure about ethnicity, but Uferte sounds Italian. The choice of Raymond and Russel as first names suggest the familiy has been in Anmerica for some time. The portrait has a background similar to a cabinet card, in this case a woodland setting.

This Artura postcard back portrait shows 14-years old Raymond Ulferte with his baby brother Russel. We are not sure about ethnicity, but Uferte sounds Italian. The choice of Raymond and Russel as first names suggest the familiy has been in Anmerica for some time. The portrait has a background similar to a cabinet card, in this case a woodland setting. The post card was not postally used so we do not know where the boys lived in the United States. All we know for sure was that the portrait was taken in 1921. Raymond wears a single-breasted knickers suit with slight Norfolk styling. Norfolk suits were declining in popularity during the 1920s. It is a little difficult to make out, but but Raymond seems to be wearing a soft collar shirt and light-colored tie. As was common at the time, he stll wear long stockings. Knee socks only became nor common at the ebd of the decade. The stockings seem chosen to match the color of his suit. And he wears high-top shoes. The date matches the 1910-24 time frame we have for Artura post cards.
