We note another image of an unidentified boy that probably comes from New Brunswick is undated, but we believe was taken during the early to mid-1910s. The clothing here is our major indicator. A rough indication comes from the fact that this is a AZO postcard and the stamp box (with four upward pointing trangles suggest that it was taken in the 1914-18 period. We have two photographs of the boy with both his father and mother. The mother's dress may be the most useful dating tool. We do no know enough about dresses, however, to accurately date her outfit. The phorographs look to be taken in the family's backyard. They look dressed up foir the photograph. Perhaps it was taken after church. We'd say the boy is 12-13 years old. Note that they wear identical flat caps. The boy's knickers look almost like jodpurs.
