This photo postcard shows a boy named William Giles in an emaculate white sailor suit. It is a long pants sailor suit done with traditional styling. The sailor scarfe is a little different than what we usually see and worn with a white wstring tie. This was more common in Germany than America. There is an anchor dickey. William's hair is done in short ringlets, a style becoming less common at the time. The AZO post stamp box dates the postcard to 1904-18. The back indicate that William was 4 years old. The studio was Bussa in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
