Figure 1.-- We note a potrait of Mrs. F.L Herreshoff and her unidentified son. He looks to be about 9 years old. He wears an Eton collar with a light-colored summer Norfolk suit with knickers. He also has white three-quarter socks with blck patent leather dress dance pumps. High-top shoes were still standard for regular wear. The portrait is not dated, but we would guess was taken in the 1910s, probably the late-1910s. The very early-20s is possibkle. Except for the shoes ad perhaps Eton collar, the boy does not seem very formally dressed.

Except for the shoes ad perhaps Eton collar, the boy does not seem very formally dressed. His beautiful socialite mother, however, is very formally done up. Her low-cut gown even has a train. We are not sure just who she was. The portrait suggestrs a well to do family. We note the Herreshoff family of Rhode Island and Herreshoff Manufacturing Company which was involved with boat building and the Anmerica's Cup.
