The Bishop children are very fashionable dressed. The little girl on the left wears a lace trimmed velvet dress and wide-brimmed hat inspired by the "cavalier" styles of the 1700s. This style of clothing became popular in the mid-late 1800s as a result of illustrations in a best-selling children's book called 'Little Lord Fauntleroy'.
