THe portrait is undated, but the seller believes it was taken in the 1870s. The boys are mostly wearing a variety of suits. A few boys are wearing outfits without button fronts. We are not sure exactly what that was. We see a few detachable Eton collars and some neckwear.. It is difficult to make out the full outfit, but they all seem to be wearing pants. We do not see any kilts. The studio was Wolhgemouth in Glssgow. The povidided some pricing information on the back.
