Here we have a French family scene from 1851. It is a posed scene, but represents what might be seen in an affluent family in the 1850s. The children are beiung educated at home rather than going to school. This is because the children are mostly girls and the family is affluent. The image depicts a geography lesson. Presumasbly the man is the tutor rather than the father. This is an early stereoscopic daguerreotype by A Claudet. Unfortunately we do not know who the children are. They may even be his own children. There are five children. We are not positive, but there appear to be four girls and a boy. The boy is the child to the right. All of the children wear dresses. The girls seem to all have center hair parts, some with ringlet curls. The children look to be about 5-14 years of age. We are not sure if the man is the father or the tutor.
