Studio Portrait of a Young Boy in Sailor Suit and Cap, Late 19th/Early 20th Century Family Photograph

A young boy poses in a fashionable sailor suit and cap for this studio portrait, a style of formal childhood dress popular from the late Victorian era through the early 20th century. Preserved among the personal papers of Lt. Bancroft, this image likely represents a treasured family photograph passed down through generations before being archived alongside his Korean War-era materials. Project: 218201
