Image 5 x 3-1/2 inches; overall frame is 14-1/4 x 12-1/4 inches. 1885 Photo of Elaborate Child, In Elaborate Frame. The elaborately dressed child, wearing a pensive look, sits on a low plush-covered bench; the photographer's advertisement on back for "Children's Photos par excellence" gives the firm's address as 206 N. Clark Street, in what was Chicago's fashionable Near North Side. The frame is a bravura creation of rich complexity, easier viewed than described. A splendid piece of late-19th century upscale Americana. (Inventory #: 30592)
