The brother presents an appearance typical of boys in cabinet cards of this era. His sister, however, looks like a “little lady” in her presentation. The photographer is W. F.

ADORABLY DRESSED BOY WITH FUR HAT IN KARLSRUHE, GERMANY
This cabinet card presents a young boy uncommonly dressed. He is photographed by Samson of Karlsruhe, Germany. Karlsruhe is in southwest Germany near the French-German border. The city is thought to be the model cityscape of Washington D.C.. The child is wearing a very interesting outfit. Does the outfit represent an ethnic or regional group? What is the story concerning the clothing item with the heart and other designs (are they suspenders or part of his shirt)? Is that a handkerchief barely tucked into the pocket of his jacket and why is the pocket near his elbow? The fur hat and the ties at the bottom of his pants also raise some interesting questions. Finally what is the lad holding in his right hand? It looks like a wand used to blow bubbles. Hopefully, a visitor to this site may share some enlightening information regarding this boys wardrobe.
YOUNGER THAN SHE LOOKS IN EMPORIA, KANSAS
This cabinet card present a young girl dressed in adult fashions for a “photo shoot” at the Page Studio, in Emporia, Kansas. She certainly displays a serious and mature appearance, and likely looks older than her chronological age. Since the reverse of the card does not indicate in which state the Emporia based studio is located; it is possible that the location of the studio was actually in another Emporia, such as Emporia, Virginia. However, Kansas is the most likely candidate.
