Figure 1.--This is a portrait of the Wettack boys, Elmer, Frank, and John Wettack. It is a rather unusual cabinet card. The image takes up the entire card without the studio information at the bottom of the card. The portrait is udated. We suspect it was taken in the 1870s. The boys wear ear flp caps. The two older boys wear early lapel jasckets. Motice the very small, high set lapels and the cut-way jacket influence. The younger boys wears an Eton collar and collar-buttoning jacket. The two older boys wear long pants. The younger boys seems to be wearing knee pants, but it is difficult to tell.
