Here we have a cabinet card portrait of a Dr. Wildman's children. The portrait is undated, but the fashions and mount look like the 1900s decade. We also have the names of the children, left to right: Otis, P.may, and Edis. We have no idea what was neant by 'P.may'. The location is hard to read, but looks like North Vernon, Indiana. The children look to be about 5-12 years old. Otis has a large rulled, lace trimmed collar. Notice the small floppy bow showingh how the sizes of these bows declined after the turn-of-the century. He wears a checked, vested, cut-sway jackert. May wears a jacketed look dress, with a fancy collar looking a bit like a bow. Edis wears a sack suit with high-set lapels. His shirt or blouse is sone in a tatersall pattern, but we are unsure about his neckwear. Cabinet cards after the turn of the 20th centuiry became much miore varied. This was a small cabinet card, 5" X 3 3/4". The photograoher was Otto White in North Vernon.
