This boy's portrait is an example of an 1850's fan
front dress for a child. The boat neck is edged in a
lace or ribbon trim, as is the sleeve. The pattern
shows that the sleeve is cut on bias. There are
three rows of trim at the end of the sleeve. The
boy wears his hair in ring curls of moderate
length, but it is still parted on the side,
showing that this is a boy child
