Murph,
From what little I know you are the one in white. I assume that you are in your mothers arms.
Who are the others in the photo, if you don't mind telling us?

Murph,
Some earlier vehicles had the radiator exposed and not under the hood.

Very true - that front grille in many cases was the radiator.

The quality of anti freeze may not have been what we have today. I did not have a car until 1956 but I have
never had a frozen radiator. I did live in the north until 1975 before Georgia.

Pretty sure that anti-freeze is not what it was 30 years ago and it's gotten rather expensive of later. At turn of the century from that photo's time frame, I'm not sure that the concept of anti-freeze even existed for cars

Yes, I am the one in white, in mother's arms, trying to figure it all out, and the family with us are my Godparents, my father's brother, his wife, and their children.

Indeed it is - printer, optometrist, and a watchmaker shops all rolled into 1 building with you out front,

The vehicle is so very fragile and delicate-looking, more so than I ever understood.

Yes, it does not look to be one for general use around the farm or factory. Look at those wheels.

It is that.

Wire spoke wheels are not what I'm used to seeing and seem better suited to a paved road that dirt or in a field. Wood spokes are what I'm used to seeing.

Couldn't be me. Beard is too long.

The horse and buggy looks to have not only wire spoke wheels, but rubber tires. A most unusual conveyance for the probable time period, is it not?

Very much so......a paved road vehicle.

Roger, Dan, and Rufus, I love it when I have seen something and find out, in short order, that I barely saw it at all. You guys noticed the spokes and the tires, all of which I merely included as part of a whole, missing its roadworthiness conclusion entirely. Well, at least I saw them as part of a delicate overall profile.
That turned out to be a nice experience for me.
