Figure 1.-- This cabinet card portrait shows a little boy named Maurice Frost. He apparently had a son named Maurice as he is identified as father and senior. Here he looks to be about 5 years old. Mauruce wears a fancy dress with a 1880s looking lace collar, but a midest 1870s looking bow. Thus we would guess the portrait was taken about 1880. The dress was low-waisted and made to look a little like a kilt suit, a popular style at the time. We have no idea what color the dress was. There was a huge number of buttons. He has long stockings and low-cut pumps.
