Description

A carte de visite studio portrait of a toddler, Parker and Company, Los Angeles, ca. 1878. The image shows the child, approximately between one and two years old, sitting on a chair covered with a rug and wearing a white dress with a bib collar and what looks like a cameo on a chain around the neck. On the reverse is the printed cartouche for the photographer, whose office was in the Downey Block. With a few very small stains, minor soiling, an acid burn at the bottom and sides of the reverse, and minor edge abrasion, the condition is good.
