Here we see the Ritchie boys in a wondeful family portrait. Sitting L-R: Joe, Paul and Merle Ritchie; Standing: Raymond Ritchie. We believe that the portrait was taken about 1925. This was the assessment of one observer. We tend to agree, primarily because of the knickers and light-colored long stockings. It is interesting, however, that Raymond wears a small bow rather than a necktie which was more fashionable at the time, especially for a boy his age. We do not know where tghe photograph was taken, other than we are sure that the boys are American. The boys look to be about 4-14 years of age. They seem to wearing knicker suits, except for Paul who wears a short pants sailor suit. Note that Merle, the youngest boy in knickers wears aboves the knee knickers and lighter-colored long stockings.
