Cabinet Card Photo Austen Fox (Riggs?) Fred Ulrich 156 Bowery NY New York NYC

This cabinet card comes from the New York Gerster / Fox estate. I am not 100% sure who the boys in this photo are. The older boy is definitely either AUSTEN HOPPIN FOX (1877-1946) or his cousin AUSTEN FOX RIGGS (1876-1940). There are known photos identifying these two cousins, wearing identical outfits. My *BEST GUEST* is that the older boy is Austen Fox Riggs & other is his brother Francis Behn Riggs (1881-1956) {no known childhood photos to compare to.} as the ages would potentially match and Austen Hoppin Fox had no younger brothers. This photo is not identified on the back. Slight bend to card. This stunning image shows the younger boy sitting upon a rock set piece and the older boy down on one knee behind him. The younger is in a velvet gown with pleats and a white scalloped collar and cuffs, and the older in a double breasted knee pants suit. Their hats are sitting on the rock. The photographer of this image: F red Ulrich, 156 Bowery NY *Alice Fox (1885-1971) & brother Austen Hoppin Fox (1877-1946) were the children of the affluent New York lawyer Austen George Fox (1849-1937) and Alice Hoppin Fox (1857-1933) *Their cousin Austen Fox Riggs (1876-1940) was the son of Austen George Fox's sister Rebecca Fox Riggs and Benjamin C Riggs. He was a pioneer in the field of psychiatry and founder of the Austen Riggs Center. He has two known siblings, Rebecca Riggs (b. 1875) and Frances Behn Riggs (b 1881).
