Description
A cabinet card studio portrait of Harry McGown, Old Mission Studio, Los Angeles, ca. 1900s. The image is in an oval frame on a matte and shows the young subject from about the midsection up. He wears a dark sailor's suit with striping on the broad collar, an anchor on the undershirt and a black tie hung low on the front. His name and age of five are faintly written in pencil on the reverse. The photo studio cartouche is at the lower right. With minor stains and image transfer on the reverse, and abrasions, the condition is good.
