THREE CUTE KIDS IN ANGOLA, INDIANA

This Cabinet Card is a portrait of three cute children who are probably siblings. They are photographed by Lacey of Angola, Indiana. The older of the two girls is holding what appears to be folded single sheet of thick paper or possible a needlepoint or other craft project. The younger girl is sitting on a child-size rocking chair and has a small doll on her lap and is holding a ring toy. Research reveals that the photographer is G. A. Lacey and that in 1902 he entered into a studio partnership with W. Freeman.
