1880s-1890s Oval framed Baby Photo - Large Embossed Cabinet Card - Sepia tone Photography

Look at this adorable Baby, at about 6 to 8 months old, in a long brilliant white christening gown! He or she is posed for the photo by a carefully concealed arm, typically the child's mother, to position and support the baby while the camera works its magic. At that time a picture could take several minutes to get the image, so patience was required. This little baby is decked out in frills and lace, with a long white christening gown blending into the draped sheet covering the mother and chair meant to support the baby.  A close study of the child, features and hairline reveals it may be a little boy.
