Figure 1.-- Here we have a CDV portrait of two unidentified English children. They are both wearing dresses, so the initial impression is that they are girls. We see two very different dresses. One has a low neckline, the other a high collar. Both seem very stylish dresses. We have no idea about the yoingest child. Given the age he could be a boy or girl. The older child is a little different. The child looks very boyish to us. But what we wonder about is the hair. We suspect thst if the younger child had long hair, if the older child was a girl that it would be likely that an older sister would also have long hair. We thus suspect that the older child may be a boy who has had his curls cut, but there is no way to be sure about this. The portrait is not dated, but we would guess was taken in the 1870s. The studio was W.H. Midwinter in Bristol.
