Boy or girl? Is that crocheted lace I see? Does anyone know the era?
it could be either boy or girl. i have a photo of an aunt and a photo of her brother taken about the same age as your mystery child. it's impossible to tell who is who without looking at the writing on the back. however, their photos are remarkably similar to this one. my best guess is 1910 give or take 5 years in either direction.
This is a boy; his hair is parted on the side. (http://www.familytreemagazine.com/Article/Boy-or-Girl)

ReplyDeleteThanks Miriam, that was an interesting article (which lead me to reading more)
ReplyDeleteI would also say a boy, his hair is parted on the side and his hand looks more like a boy. Thank you for coming by. Have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteHis face looks familiar, I think I have seen him around town....or maybe a descendant ; )
