A young woman and an even younger boy pose for their portrait at Moe’s Studio in Little Falls, Minnesota. One can only guess about their relationship. Are they mother and son? Could they be brother and sister? The answer to these questions will likely remain unknown. The woman under the umbrella appears pensive. She is wearing a hat and holding gloves. The boy is dressed in the popular “Little Lord Fauntleroy” style that was in fashion at the time of the photograph. No information could be found about Moe or Moe’s Studio. The last name “Moe” appears to have been a popular name in Little Falls around the turn of the century. The name was of Norwegian origin.

Mother an Son, I think – a hat like this would have been ununsual for unmarried women, She is wearing 2 rings on her left hand, holding those dark gloves, none on her right (so if she was married, her ancestry probably wasn’t from Norway like the photographer’s maybe were …)
