The Fargo Children at Play
| Five photographs mounted on an album page showing the Fargo children at play. At top left, in a posed studio portrait, Dorothy Fargo, sitting at left, "teaches" six children, including her brother Stuart, third from right. Ashley Mills, far right, is wearing a dunce cap. Stuart and Ashley are barefoot. At top right, Stuart (with hat) and Frank Fargo are sitting in an open carriage pulled by a single horse at the rear of the Fargo home. In the photograph center right, Stuart is standing next to the dog Mark, while Frank is holding a large cat. Both boys are wearing suits, bow ties and hats. At bottom left, Dorothy and Stuart Fargo are sitting on a bench while Frank is lying on the ground, resting his head against the dog, Mark. In the altered photograph at lower right, four boys and the dog Mark are posing in front of an igloo. Stuart Fargo, far left, and an unidentified boy are sitting on a sled. The boys are wearing outfits resembling footed pajamas with fur-trimmed hoods. |
