This cabinet card photograph features a young boy (?), looking forlorn, posing next to his pull toy train. The locomotive appears to made of wood. The photograph is from around the 1910’s and was found in Serbia. The photographer is unidentified. SOLD

Aw –
Here’s one possible scenario: He is forlorn because Mama told him the train is a photographer’s prop and he can’t take it home.
That makes sense to me. Good theory
