United States boys clothes : 1860s Unidentified Pennsylvania family
Unidentified Family (Pennsylvania, late-1860s)
Figure 1.--Here we see an unidentified family. They have a baby and a boy who looks about 5-6 years old. Notice how father and son wear the same narrow ribbon bow. The boy wears a plaid top. We think this was one of the short tunics popular in the 850s-60s. As was common, he jas a very small white collar. We think this was part of a short worn under the tunic, but we are not positive. Notice mother's voluminous dress. This wonderful early CDV was taken by Josiah Knecht, he was a 'traveling artist', meaning an itinerate photographer.

This wonderful early CDV was taken by Josiah Knecht, he was a 'traveling artist', meaning an itinerate photographer. We know he was active in Pennsylvania during the 1860s and 70s. This looked to us like the late-60s. The boy's short hair helps date the portrait to the late-60s. Moyy commonly had longervgasir in the 1850s and early-60s.
