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.
