Description
A black and white photograph of a young child named Ed Murphy, ca. 1900. The young boy is identified as Ed Murphy, aged five years. He wears a cotton smock, buttoned up shoes and a wide brimmed hat. He has in his right hand the reigns of a toy rocking horse. The toy has a cushion seat in the middle with wooden horses flanking the sides and bars at bottom to enable rocking. He stands in front of a wooden house that appears to be built against a slope. The home has wooden siding, white trimmed windows and a door. At the distance on the upper, right is a mountain or hill side. With some missing corners, tears, creasing, fading, and folds, it is in fair condition.
