This unidentified postcard back portrait shows four brothers and sisters. We at first thought the children might be British, but think the building in the background identifes it as American. The younger boy appears to be celebrating his First Communion, but is dressed just like his slightly older brother. The boys wear white boaters, Peter Pan collars, scarfe-like ties, cut-away jackets, vests, shortened-length pants (we think knickers), and long stockings.
