This cabinet card features a portrait of a cute, but skeptical baby, sitting on a fur covered chair. The child is wearing a sweater over a gown, and is propped on a chair. The baby is clenching a toy in his/her right hand. The photograph was produced at the Detroit Art Gallery. The proprietors were listed as Dubbs, Lee & Company. Preliminary research yielded no additional information about the studio.
A cute baby
like a little king on his throne, holding the orb and pointing out its postion with the little finger – so cute!
My cousin found an interesting photo of my grandmother- the cabinet print is square, mounted as a diamond- and the photo is a circle in the square. The studio name is printed in a circle at the bottom of the photo- http://flic.kr/p/7v45mA

PS: A gg…nephew of the photographer contacted me about the photo wondering if I had any more. I did not- am waiting to hear more from him though.
