Hi, I don’t think it is possible to say, I think we are still well in the period when boys were breeched, considerably older than this boy.

Thank you David.

It was common practice to include deceased people in family photographs, not only children but adults.
Propped up and thus included in family photographs,especially if none existed from before a death.
Ghoulish we may think but everyday snapshots were  not available in Victorian and Edwardian times.
People wanted mementoes.

Hi Victoria
Thank you for your input.
I do find the subject of anything slightly macabre rather interesting!

Snap.
Victorians were especially so,perhaps because Queen Victoria was so bereft when Prince Albert died so relatively young .
