United States Families: Anna Schlesinger and Brother (1863)


Figure 1.-- Here we have one of the Schleslinger girls, probably Anna, with an unidentified boy. While the children are unidentified, we know it is one of the Scjlesinger girls because of the facial resemblance and the fact that she is wearin the same dress as in the portrait with Emily. The portrait was probably taken the same day, meaning that we know this portrait was taken in 1863 as well. The boy is almost surely her brother. The age seems correct and their pose close together suggesrs siblings. He wears a collar buttoning long pants suit with a small shirt collar and cross tie. He looks to be about 8-years old. We think he may tbe the same unidentified boy photographed in the baby carriage and sitting in the chair, but here we are not sure.
