Figure 1.-- Here is another unidentified boy. We do not know who he is. It is interesting because of the boy's outfit. We havevnot seen anything quite like it in other 1860s portraits. The boy wears a shirt or jacket rather like the button-on outfits that were quite common at the time. Note the small ruffled collar. The sleeves blouse at the wrist cuffs. These were almost always one of these shirts buttoning on the pants. This boy, however, wears an unusual skirt.

Part of the skirt matches the shirt, but it is also trimmed in a check or ginham pattern. He also wears pantalettes and white long stockings. The boy looks to be about 3-4 years old.
