Argentine Families: Italian Immigrant Family (1900s)



Figure 1.--This unidentified Argentine cabinet card shows what looks like an established Argentine family. There are four children, two girls, a boy, and a baby of unknowm gender. The potrait is undated, but the dealer believes that the portrait was taken in the early-1900s. We are unsure, but the man's outfit does look like after the turn-of-the 20th century. His hat looks rather Italian. The children look about 1-12 years of age. The girls wear fancy identical dresses, although the older gurls seems to have sort of over-the shoulder collar. Both have twin hair bows. The boy seems to be wearing a Fauntleroy knickers velvet suit with a large pin-on lace collar. We are not sure about the color, but it could be gray instead of the more common black or dark color. His jacket collar is laid over the lace collar which was unusual. Notice that he wears socks rather than long stockings. Put your cirsor on the image for a closer look at the boy and his velvet suit.
