I came across this picture in the Library of Virginia’s archive. It was so sweet, I thought you all might like it. The title is “Glenn M. St. Clair and John W. St. Clair, first cousins and best friends.” The picture is undated but I’d guess it’s around 1910.

The photo brings to mind the photo of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and, his cousin, King George V of England.
Love the coiffure of the cousins. The style of the time.
