Gallery›Victoria and Albert Museum›The stereo pair of images are hinged to fold in the middle. These are contained within a leather-covered card slip-case of a dark red-brown colour, with an incised line around the edges, 93 x 91 x 14 mm. The unusual housing may mean that they were originally intended to be seen in a Wheatstone viewer, later being joined for viewing in a Brewster type viewer.

Almost full-length portrait of a two children, seated, an older girl on the right of the image close to a younger sibling on the left. Both wear similar costumes, a blue plaid cape over similar plaid skirts, with white pantaloons beneath. The girl on the right has dark hair with curls around the brow, the boy or girl on the left has longer, paler hair, curled into ringlets. The pale blue capes are tied on with broad ribbons about the neck, where the collar of a shirt or blouse is also seen. The girl holds a piece of paper, perhaps a letter. The backdrop is a plain cloth. Hand coloured.
