Unidentified Adelaide Family (1890s)


Figure 1.--This Australian cabinet card shows three unidentified children about 5-11 years old, a girl and two boys. They look to come from a well-to-do family. The older boys wears a vested sailor suit. Mother has added an Eton collar, small neck bow, and large sailor scarf. It is a knee pants sailor suit, worn with long stockings and strap patent leather shoes. Their sister wears a dress with a lace ruff and velvet trim. She also wears long stockings, but with high-top shos. Their little brother wears an identical outfit, although with knee socks rather than long stockings. There is a broad-brimmed sailor hat in the lower left cormer. Notice the streamer. The studio was the Solomon School of Photogrphy in Adelaide. Negative number 12716.

Their sister wears a dress with a lace ruff and velvet trim. She also wears long stockings, but with high-top shos. Their little brother wears an identical sailor suit outfit, although with knee socks rather than long stockings. He wears hightop shoes. The older boy has short hair. The girl and her little brother have similar hair styles with bangs and long hair at the back. In addition to the clothes, there are interesting props. There is a broad-brimmed sailor hat in the lower left cormer. Notice the streamer. We are not sure who it is for, but it is set close to the older boy. As the youngr boy wears an identical suit, presumably he would also wear the same hat. Notice that the hat color matches their suits. We are unsure about big sister's headwear. She holds a jump rope and little brother a cricket bat. The studio was the Solomon School of Photogrphy in Adelaide.
