This cabinet card photograph features an adorable little boy posing next to a large dog. The boy is fashionably dressed. The dog appears to be some type of Retriever. Note the painted backdrop behind the boy and his dog. This photo was taken by G. M. Greene. His studio was located in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. George Miles Greene married Jennie Davidson in 1861. The couple were divorced in 1880. “The Photographic Times” printed an obituary for Greene in 1895. He passed away at age 65. It is noted that he had a “large practice” in Johnstown before the great flood of 1889. His studio was swept away and “carried down the raging Conemaugh River”. He built a new studio after the flood. In 1894 he sold the business to the Boston Art Company. Greene was forced to sell the business due to ill health. (SOLD)
