I have been tempted to buy a photograph I have absolutely no hope of identifying because the photographer, J. A. McClanahan of Elite Studio of Mt. Ayr, Iowa has done an excellent job of catching my attention and piquing my curiosity. Who are these children? Are they siblings? The two girls standing, are wearing dresses, which except for minor differences in the collar and sleeves are nearly identical, but the third girl, sitting with her hands in her lap is dressed more simply, her dress is longer and is that an apron? and why is one of the girls pointing her finger at the boy?
One thing is for certain, none of the three are paying the least attention to the pointer. Something much more interesting appears to be going on just out of range of the camera and it has their full attention.
