Figure 1.--We note the Burch family which lived in Ottawa. They seem a well-established, prosperous Victorian family. The portrait is undated, but was taken about 1886. The older brothers wear jackets with very small lapels and show the influence of the cut-away jackers that were popular in the 1870s. The youngest brother, Ernest, wears ringlers and a velvet Little Lord Fauntleroy suit with a large lace collar. Put your curson on the image for a close up of Ernest.
