A reader has provided us a portrait identified only as the 'vicar's son'. We do know the portrait was taken in Helsinki during 1894 while Filand was still part of the Russian Empire. He wears a knee pants sailor suit. It looks like a knit suit. It is plain except for his striped dickey. He looks about 8-9 years old. He has long stockings and high-top shoes, We do not have the complelete image, but suspect it was a cabinet card.
