Schlesinger Family: Unidentified Boy (New York, 1860s)


Figure 1.-- We note one boy who is not identified. He wears a plaid dress. Notice he wears a belt to make it look more like a tunic. There is no collar but the dress wraps tightly around the neck. The dress has what looks like diagogobal styling and buttoning. Put your cursor on the image to see him a couple years earlier.

We note one boy who is not identified. He wears a plaid dress. Notice he wears a belt to make it look more like a tunic. There is no collar but the dress wraps tightly around the neck. The dress has what looks like diagogobal styling and buttoning. Plaid was especially popular for boy dresses. He has white long stockings which were common in the 60s. He has short hair. The photograph next to this one looks to the same boy a couple years earlier. He is wearing a white dress with a low neckline. He is pictured in a baby varriage with large wheels. It is an interesting image because it shows an outdoor scene. We think another portrait in the album may show this boy an older age with his sister Anna. We thus think that his last name may be Schlessinger.
