Figure 1.-- Here is a charming portrait of Jim and Ahlden Knight. Jim of course is a familiar version. His proper names must have been James Knight. They surely were brother and sister. They were from St. Louis, Missouri. The portrait is not dated, but looks to have been taken in the early-1900s, possibly the early-20s. The children look to be about 4-6 years old. Jim wears a white sailor suit. Ahlden wears a plain, colarless white dress.
