* Scottish boys clothes: middle-class family about 1890








Scottish Middle-Class Familiy (about 1890)


Figure 1.--This cabinet portrait shows a unidentified Scottish family. The clothing suggests a fashionable, affluent family. The portrait is undated, but the Fauntkleroy lace collar and the styke of the cabinet card format suggest the 1890s to us. And the mothers dress, esopecially the puff sleeves, look like the mid-1890s. The portrait includes a middle-age mother and her three young children. They look to be about 5-8 years in age.

The two younger children may be twins. Another possibility is that the lady is grandmother and the children may include cousins. There are two boys and a girl. The younger boy wears a dress (we are not sure about the color) with Fauntleroy lace trim. The girl wears a fancy white dress. Both the younger children wear white long stockings.
