U.S. School Clothes: Unidentified Tutorial Group (1890s)


Figure 1.-- This cabinet card portrait shows a young woman and 11 well dressed boys. The boys all wear suits, a variery of styles aling with varied neckwear an collars. All the boys at the front wear knee pants and long black stockings. There is no writing on the back we are left to guess who the woman and boys are. We believe they are a either a private school group are a group the woman is tutoring. The boys look to be about 8-11 years old, suggesting that it is not a formal school group. Sunday school is a possibility, but then we think the boys would have Bibles. The mount and boys clothes suggest the 1890s to us, although we woul have thought there might have been more Fauntleroy touches. That might suggest the early-80s, but we think that black long stockings were not as standard then. The studio was Wing Taber in Auburn, New York.
