Figure 1.-- Here we see an unidentified family enjoying their back yard. The view of the hime and use of the back yard provide cntext to The portrait is carefully composed. We see two women. Onemust be the mother. The other is perhaps the grand mother. We see a todler boy wearing a Astrakhan, jacket, and what looks like a kilt-skirt, perhaps a kilt suit. His older broher wears a hat (kinda of a rounded crown boater), blouse, and knee pants. We are not sure what he is holding. Both boys wear dark long stockings. Their sister wears a jacket and dress. Her plain hat looking rather like a Stetson seems a little stange, rather unusual for a girl. Dad presuably took the photograph. The family tabby cat taking it all in completes the portrait. The portrait is not dated, but we would guess was taken in the 1890s. The early-1900s is possible. It was probanly taken in a small town or leafy suburb. The jackets during the summer suggest the northeast or upper Mid-west.
