This is a portrait of Art Vanderkloot, son of Adrianus and Martha Vanderkloot, and brother of Grace. Art was born on August 28, 1885, in Chicago and passed away on June 28, 1929, in Detroit. In this photograph, he is wearing a light suit and is in his late teens or early twenties. The background appears to be a ruffled sheet and not a quality studio photograph. Art appears only slightly older than in the “Probably Adrianus and Martha Vanderkloot's 20th Anniversary Family Portrait - December 26, 1902”. One possibility is that this is Art’s high school graduation photo. His graduation year might have been when he was 17 in either 1903 or when he was 18 in 1904. Another possibility is that the photo is job-related. Tentatively, I estimated the photo date as the spring of 1904.

This photograph was in Grace Vanderkloot Filipek's Photo Collection. Dave Jordan is now the keeper of this collection. If you would like to add information about this photo, please contact Dave Jordan, a great-grandson of Adrianus and Martha Vanderkloot. The Picture Reference Number is DJB52.
