Figure 1.-- Here we see Austen photograophed at about the same time as he was pictured with baby Alice (1886). We get no clue as to his headwear. A later image shows Scottuish Glengarys. He is wearing a collar buttoning Norfolk knee pants suit with an Eton collar. We get a better look than with the portrait with Alice. We can see under the Peter Pan collar that Austen is wearing a collar buttoning jacket that had a shirt-like collar and no lapels. The studio was Rockwood in New York City. Based on his work, he was a very taklented photograoher.

We can see under the Peter Pan collar that Austen is wearing a collar buttoning jacket that had a shirt-like collar and no lapels. This Norfolk suit had both the vertical pleats and a horizontal belt. Many early Norfolk suits were done without the belt which had no real purpose. He wears a detachable Peter Pan collar. The bow is very small in 1880s terms. The knee pants have the classic purely ornamental three buttons and the knee hem. Mother seems to have slected long stockings that marched the color of the suit. In the 1890s, black long stockings became increasingly popular.
