Default curious about this photograph

Posted By: davidcycleback

In my opinion, the uniforms are definitely 1870s. The white shoes are standard for the period. Looks sort of like a dress up, as 1870s kids didn't ordinarily wear full adult-style uniforms.

My offhand guess without seeing it in person is the print is not from the 1870s, but that doesn't rule out it from being old.
