In my last post, I went into the history of the carte de visite, and if interested, scroll back one. No fancy calligraphy on the back, so I won't scan it in, but there is a photographer's mark, LINGO, UNIONTOWN, PENNA." My guess is that these two young boys are either professional entertainers or that they are wearing some sort of ethnic costume.
This reminds me of a friend whose Czech grandmother made all of his and his brother's clothes until they were twelve. Only problem was that they lived in New York.
