YOUNG WOMAN UNDER AN UMBRELLA AND EVEN YOUNGER BOY DRESSED IN “LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY” STYLE IN LITTLE FALLS, MINNESOTA

A young woman and an even younger boy pose for their portrait at Moe’s Studio in Little Falls, Minnesota. One can only guess about their relationship. Are they mother and son? Could they be brother and sister? The answer to these questions will likely remain unknown. The woman under the umbrella appears pensive. She is wearing a hat and holding gloves. The boy is dressed in the popular “Little Lord Fauntleroy” style that was in fashion at the time of the photograph. No information could be found about Moe or Moe’s Studio. The last name “Moe” appears to have been a popular name in Little Falls around the turn of the century. The name was of Norwegian origin.

CHILD ACTOR IN LONDON, ENGLAND (LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY)

A young actor, in costume, poses for this cabinet card photographed by Ernest Pearce. Pearce’s studio was located at 46 Stamfield Hill, in London, England. The reverse of the card indicates that the photograph was taken in 1897. The child is dressed in the finery that was popular during the “Little Lord Fauntleroy” era. The bottom of the cabinet card has pencil writing that states “Rough Proof”. It appears that this card may have been one of many different images that were produced of this young actor.
