MINIATURE FAMILY AND PUG OUT FOR A STROLL

A young boy and girl pose as if they are out for a walk with a baby doll in a carriage and a  pug firmly in the girl’s arms.  The young boy is clearly a forward thinker as he has taken on the “woman’s”  role of pushing the carriage.  He is also wearing an interesting cap with a tassel.  The photograph was taken at a studio in Bourbon, Indiana. The photographer’s name is listed on the front (bottom) of the card but the name is illegible.

This cabinet card photograph captures a woman and her dog posing in the studio of A. S. Hellebo in Janesville, Minnesota. The woman is wearing a fur hat and fur “scarf”. She is wearing gloves and holding a pocket book. The dog looks like a labrador retriever and appears quite comfortable as it sits on a fancy chair.

A MAN AND HIS BEAUTIFUL LABRADOR RETRIEVER

MAN AND DOG_0006This cabinet card is a great image of a man and his dog. The image of the dog, probably a labrador retriever, has great clarity. The photographer or the location of the studio is unknown. Perhaps the man’s hat and attire can provide a clue to location for someone more knowledgeable than me about such things.

A FAMILY AND FAMILY DOG POSE IN ST. JEAN, QUEBEC

FAMILY AND DOG_0007A mother and father pose for this cabinet card photograph along with their two young children and family dog. The dog appears to be a pure bred spaniel and I invite someone to leave a comment informing me of its probable breed. The image has great clarity and the father looks very proud of his family. The photograph was taken by J. L. Pinsonneault of St. Jean, Quebec, Canada.
