This is a cabinet card photo of a pair of children, the youngest in a chair looking bored or stupified and the older trying to look jaunty and cool.

The photo measures 6.5 inches high by 4.25 inches wide, has a plain back and is signed Ishmael, Cassville, Wis. for Wisconsin, USA and dates to 1870-1880s.

The cabinet card is in very good +++ used vintage condition with a fancy border, a mild bit of soiling and a place on the back where a price tag was at some time leaving a glue shadow.

In archival sleeve.
