* United States boys clothes : 1860s Unidentified Pennsylvania family








Unidentified Family (Pennsylvania, late-1860s)


Figure 1.--Here we see a CDV portrait of what we thought might be farm family, although most farm families were larger. Father has an impressive beard. Beards like this were popular after the Civil War. Mother and father are plainly dressed, but their son behind them looks to be about 8 years old. we can only see the top of his outfit. He wears a fashionable suit done with piping.

Mother and father are plainly dressed, but their son behind them looks to be about 8 years old. we cabn only see the top of his outfit. He wears a fashionable suit done with piping. Neither father or son have neckwear which was unusual. The boys seems to be wearing a shirtwaist as we do not see a collar. Notice the boy holding hands with mother. We think the portait may have been taken just after the Civil War in the mid-1860s. The parents names were Joal and Prusilla. The boy's name is cut off but looks to be something like Freu???. There was no studio information, but the CDV was kept in a CDV album.
