Lovely, clear, original Victorian era cabinet card studio portrait with painted backdrop, of large family group of women, teenage girls and children, lots of characters. The young boys are dressed in fashionable sailor suits and are holding toy yachts and the young girl at the front, a basket of flowers (reinforcing gender stereotypes). Several nice hats and bonnets. The austere scary matriarch at the back is wearing an Order of Christ Cross (Portuguese Cross) brooch at her neck. From the studio of W. Watson, Stonehaven, Aberdeen, Scotland. On the front is written "Hilda, July 1886".
