Thank you, @Rikki Gins . You're very kind. I do love it so, historical fashion is really interesting. The forward tilt is a dead give away for the S-Bend. It was "the new look".  :o Doesn't look very comfy, does it?

Truth be known, I picked Frank because I had a GrandUncle named Frank who used to make a habit of jumping his horse over cars. It was then and is now a horrible idea. He was drunk many of those times. I suppose we should be thankful that the horse was not. I should dredge one of those pictures up and we can compare countenances.
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.
