Figure 1.--This cabinet card portrait shows three brothers that we would guess were about 4-10 years ols. The boys earing similar Russian blouse tunics look to be about 6 years old. Their older brother wears a sailor suit with bloomer knickers. The portrait is undated, but the mount uggests it was taken in the late-1900s or eearly-1910s. There is no studio information.

We have only a few tunic photographs for which the boy's age was specified. If we have a specified age, we load those images in the age section. Bur that would leave us with very few images to work with. We are thus forced to estimate the ages. As aresult, there are possible errors here as to the ages, but we doubt we are off by more than a year or so. We welcome reader comments on our age estimates. Here family portraits showing age grading are very useful. Age grading helps to improve age estimates by estblishing praters around the posible ages. Generally speaking brothers are separated by at least a year and commonly 2 years.
