English Families: Three Unidentified Siblings (1890s)


Figure 1.-- Here are more undated images, but they are especially interesting because we have a series of four portraits. They do not appear to be either CDVs or cabinet cards, but rather photographs from a family album. This is one reason in addition to the clothing styles that we think that the portraits are from the 1890s. They show the three children of the family at diferent ages within a space of about 7 years. Thus we see different outfits.Here the children look about 3-8 years old. Put your cursor on the image to see them about 5 years later.

This is one reason in addition to the clothing styles that we think that the portraits are from the 1890s. They show the three children of the family at diferent ages within a space of about75 years. Thus we see different outfits. The boys wears a plain cut-way jacket, Eton collar, and knee pants with long stockings. His outfits do not change much over the span of the photographs. One photograph shows him and his sister wearing hats. The girl's hat is highly decorated. The boy's hat is very plain, except for the streamers. The children wear strap shoes. The boy's hat has twin streamers. The other photographs show the girls wearing different identical dresses in the two photographs where all three are photographed together showing their outfits.
