Myle and Ray Kent (United States, probably 1890s)

 Mylie and Ray Kent
Figure 1.--We found this portrait of Mylie and Ray Kent. The portrait is undated, but we would guess the 1890s. The boys are similarly dressed in kneepants suits, but the younger boys wears a Fauntleroy blouse and floppy bows. Both boys wear black long stockings.

This cabinet photo shows two brothers and their dogs. The boys are Myle and Ray Kent. We know nothing about the family, but we do know about the relatives. The parents were Elwyn and Emma Kent. Something tells me that Elwyn was an avid hunter. The boys were first cousins of Jessie Meill and Cornelia E. Kent. The photographer was J. B. Chouinard in Ludlow, Massachusetts. The portrait is undated, but we would guess was taken in the 1890s. The boys are similarly dressed in kneepants suits, but the younger boys wears a Fauntleroy blouse and floppy bows. Both boys wear black long stockings. They are accompanied by two great hunting dogs.
