Figure 1.--This cabinet card portrait shows four children about 2-12 years old. The two younger children are girls, both wearing dresses. Notice the baloon sleves on the younger child. That and the cabinet card mounts help identofy the 1890s. One boy wears a trditional sailor suit, very popular in the 1890s. The older boy wears a collar buttoning suit with an Eton collar, and small bow. Also notice the boy's center part. We know the portrait is English and not Americam because of the studio identification on cabinet card. But the low-cut footwear even if the studio was unknown tells us that it was not American. Three of the children are identified, George, Ethel, and Nettie Finch. We do not know why the fourth child is not identified. The studio is J.H. Killick in North London.
