Here we have portrait of the McCurdy children, at least we think it is McCurdy, the writing is a bit difficult to read. They had their portrait taken for a Christmas card, a popular fashion at the time. Notice that the boy at least is not dressed up for the portrait. The children are wearing clssic 1950s outfits. The boy wers a Hopalong Cassidy shirt, perhaps with jeans. Hoppy was a popular TV cowboy during the the late-1940s-50s early-50s. I had a similar shirt at the same age. Hoppy was for some reason my favorite TV cowboy. We had just gotten our first TV. It had a very small screen and I had to get close to get a good view. His sister wears a dress with baloon sleeves. Girls mostly wire dresses in the 1950s, even for play but this was beginning to change. This was a very popular style. It probbly had a waistband that tied in a bow at the back. She wears eye glasses which look to be from the early-50s just before more elaborate styles developed. The children look to be about 7-11 years of age.
