A little girl poses with her doll and toy stroller at C. B. Long’s Elite Studio. The child has a serious expression highlighted by her pursed lips. She is posed somewhat distant from the camera so she and her doll do not fill much of the image. The backdrop seems to somewhat dominate the photograph. Research yielded little information about C. B. Long other than one article appearing in the St. Louis and Canadian Photographer (1900) which announced that Long had sold his gallery in Wesley, Iowa. That information does not necessarily mean that this portrait comes from that particular studio because it was not unusual for photographers to move from place to place during the course of their business career.

What a gem. The girl and the doll seem to have the same expression.
Great observation. I noticed that the doll and the little girl seemed to look alike. It is as if they are sharing the same expression. I have heard and seen examples of people looking like their pet dogs but this is the first time I’ve seen a child look like their doll.
