Figure 1.--This cabinet card portrait comes with no information except that the studio was Cedric Wright in Northampton. The dealer believes that the phograph was taken in the 1880s. That seems about right, pehaps about 1890. Perhaps readers will have some insight here. Northamptonshire islocated in the East Midlands, between London and Birmingham. We see what looks like a very wealthy family living on a country estate. We are not sure about the lady. She may be a grandmother, but a givrness seems more likely.

We do not have a full image of their country mnor house, other wide we might be ble to identify it, including the family. The manor looks like it may hve been quite large. We only see a wall. There are four children, two boys, theur sister, and a bby. They look to be about 10 years olddown to the baby. The girl wears a black dress with an elaborate hat. The boys lok to be wearing jockey outfits. The boys wear identical outfits, except for the color of their sweatrs (jerseys). Note they wear these infoirmal garments with Eton collars and biws. There hats look likd modern baseball caps, but we think were mnt to be jockey cps--note the donkey. All the children wear dark longstockings. The boys have high-top shoes, the girl low cuts.
