Okay, I can understand putting "dresses" on boys back then...let's face it they didn't have pampers so I'm sure dresses were easier to "change diapers" but a big bow in the hair? My son when he was that age had beautiful blonde curls and he wore barrettes but only because his older sister (they were only 18 months apart) treated him like her personal "living" doll! LOL!
Well, we know he was born sometime between May 1, 1906 and April 30, 1907.

ReplyDeleteTerrific picture! Great outfit (okay, not so crazy about the bow, either) but I love how he is standing on that oversized chair.
ReplyDeleteThe Victorian chair is gorgeous. At first I thought for sure it was a girl. A beautiful old photo!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cursive W. to me.
ReplyDeleteHe's a cutie.
