Interesting photo and  the info re the children.  I have noticed on some photos something that seems out of whack and the thought crosses my mind why didn't they straighten the rug, or twitch the folds in the curtains into a better appearance etc etc and now it appears that perhaps these 'overlooked'
untidiness  were deliberate, perhaps an attempt to make the photos look less posed

There's usually a floor blooper somewhere in 1860s photography,

Is that a correct assumption????

Thank you all for your interesting information and observations.  8)
I know I've got the right family but I still don't know who they are. Try as I might, shouting at the photo "who are you" doesn't work!  ;D
