This studio portrait has a dark brown folding paper frame, It looks like the 1910s, but we are not sure just when. The early-1920s is possible. The boy is unidentified, but he looks to be about 7-years old. The boy wears a dark Norfolk suit, a very popular style at the time. We can't tell if it is a knee pants or knickes suit, probably it was knickers suit as knickers became standard in the 1910s. He probably wears his suit with long stokings and what looks like low-cut oxfords. The studio was Arthur Gillette in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
