Found this upstate New York, Kellogg's & Thayer Hand Colored print, titled "brother and sister" I'm confused after looking at this Print and the title. which one is the brother or was this a miss print ? I know they used to dress boys in dresses. The one with the pants appears to have breast. I cannot find this in their collection anywhere online any help would be greatly appreciated this lithograph measures 14 x 10" it has some watermarks along the bottom some foxing.
I did find "Little Brothers" and "Little Sisters" - I found this one called "Little Playfellow" which is in fact a boy playing with a puppy. - It appears the boy here also looks like a girl, complete with the "breasty look";

Aghcollect, Wow yes it appears to be the same type of Blouse/shirt with some minor differences. The flowers appear to be the same style. This becomes more interesting to me the more i look at it. Thanks for your Time with this.
The girly curly hair seems to be the same on the boys too
True, wow.
The boy is in the back in pants.
It is not unusual to see 19th century boys with that type of hairstyle.
