Figure 1.--This cabinet card portait was probably taken in the early-1900s decade. This is based on the color and style of the card, one of the many new styles that appeared at the turn-of-the-20th century. The whicker furniture is also a clue. The boy is idetified as Lake Sheary. He looks to be about 3-years old. Lake has short, stringy ringlets. He is outfitted in a colored sailor suit although we are not sure about the color, probably blue but there were other colors. The V collar is truncated and has unusal crossing stripes. He has a high collar, plain white dickey. His sailorsuit is done as knee pants, black long stockings and high-top shoes. The studio was taken by the Lindig studio in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
