THE GIRL WITH THE UNUSUALLY LIFE-LIKE DOLL (VINTAGE RUSSIAN PHOTOGRAPH)

This vintage photograph features a cute little girl holding an unusual doll in her lap. The doll has a very life-like appearance. The child is sitting on an unusual carved wooden chair. She is wearing a checkered skirt and a hair bow. The photograph was purchased from a Russian collector and likely originates there. The photograph is on card stock that is slightly thinner than the paper board seen on most cabinet cards.  Speaking of unusual, note the chair that the girl is sitting on. The child’s clothing is adorable. She is wearing a large bow in her hair. The little girl, the photographer, and the location that the photo was taken, are all unidentified. The photograph is somewhat bowed and is in overall good condition (see scans).
