Today's posting of an Orphan Photo is a sweet looking darling young child from St. Paul Minnesota. I bought this at an estate sale some years ago.
Photographer is S M Taylor of West 7th Street.
I think this is a young girl but with the short hair is hard to be sure. Dressed in a very nice dress with large lacy collar. Around the neck is a small cross.
What a doll. Sadly there is no name on the back to identify this young child. Take a look at the back to see how beautifully it is designed.

Love the back of this CDV, such intricate detail.
ReplyDeleteSo many of these forgotten faces. It really makes you wonder who they came to be, doesn't it?

What a sweet child! It's so sad that these photos get separated from the family. Detailing on the back is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty child! Probably a girl, but even that can't be known for sure.
ReplyDeleteShe is lovely. I can't help but wonder what became of her.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your blog. I'll be back
I was going to guess that it's a boy, mostly because of the short hair left "plain" but who knows! The child has a very sweet countenance. The back of the card is so ornate! They don't do things like that these days. Welcome to Sepia Saturday.
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, it is a sweet child and a beautiful photo for Sepia Saturday. One wonders, who was this child, what was her name ( I think it's a girl) and did she have a happy life?
ReplyDeleteShe Has A Very Intelligent Face.Very Calm & Pretty.I Hope Life Was Good To Her.
ReplyDeleteCertainly is a lovely wee child and the back of the card is wonderful. Real art in itself.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for visiting for my first sepia saturday I really apperciate it.
ReplyDeleteIt is an interesting post. I know a lady who was an orphan pulled from another state and adopted by an Iowa couple. She never knew who her parents were.
