Title

Cabinet Card of a Small Child

Date

ca. 1885

Description

The child is wearing a white eyelet dress, black stockings, and black side-button boots. It is difficult to determine the gender of the child since both boys and girls dressed alike in short dresses until they were approximately five years old at which time boys donned breeches or knickers. This cabinet card was taken in the studio of H. A. Lesure at 207 Main Street, Danbury, Connecticut.
