This school portrait looks to be a dark brown cabinet card. It was a gelatin silver print taken in 1926 and shows a small-sized class "Fifth C', a 5th grade (10-11 year olds) class. The mount had very pronounced embossed framing. Some cards in the 1920s were very highly decorative. The school cards tended to be plainer with only same color ruling and framing. Brown seems to have been a popular color. The mount was 8.75” x 7.25” The photo was 6.5" x "4.5". The boys are mostly wearing just shirts, but a feware wearing suits.
