This cabinet card features a young child dressed in an elaborate outfit, including a lace trimmed dress and a distinctive bonnet-style hat adorned with a large, voluminous bow on the top. The child is standing amidst an arrangement of flowers, holding some in their hands. The background is a painted studio backdrop, designed to resemble a natural outdoor setting with trees and foliage. Although there is a photographer’s name below the image (Volquarts, Plymouth, Wisconsin), it is more likely that the photographer of this image is R. Shull of Chicago, Illinois. Shull’s advertising stamp can be seen on the reverse of this photograph. SOLD
