Figure 1.--Here we see a portrait of the Ferry de la Bellonne family in 1890. The family appears to be affluebt. They lived in Bagnols sur Cèze, Gard. It was a glass negative, meaning that the family either hired a professional photographer or the family or a family friend had developed photographic skills. Photogrphy was still a rather complicated process at the time which is why most images are still studio portraits. The boys' light outfits make it difficult to make out details. One boy wears a standard sailor suit. Both boys wear knickers with long stockings. The knickers were very common in France at the time. The boys look to be about 5-7 years of age. Unlike the adults, they do not have hats.
