The cut-away jacket was mostly a 19th century garment, but we still see some in the early-20th century. The jackets we see are not the cut-away jackets of the mid-19th century. These were plain lapel-less jackets like the one the Bremen boy on the previous page wearing. The cut-away jackets we see have small, high-set lapels. We see these same high-set lapels with rgular sack suit jackets. We are still assesing how common these cut-way jackets were in the 1900s, but we have found several German examples. They were worn by boys of all ages including younger teenagers. We continue to see boys wearing these jackets with vests. The problem with building these chronologies is that so many of the images are undated. There are, however, some characteristics of cabinet card that help date 1900s portraits.
