Up for sale is an original, authentic antique black-and-white (silver-toned) studio portrait photograph dating to the Edwardian era (circa 1900–1910). This wonderfully sweet historic image features a young toddler formally posed in a photography studio alongside a canine companion.
The central photograph is displayed inside its original, heavy textured dark grey cardboard studio mat frame featuring an elegant debossed linear border design. The toddler is dressed in classic early 20th-century winter outerwear, including a heavy buttoned wool coat and a matching winter bonnet hood. Perched proudly next to the child on a vintage wooden spindle-backed parlor chair is a beautiful, dark long-haired pet dog, highly characteristic of a classic early Spaniel, Dachshund, or small Terrier mix breed. They are set against a soft, hand-painted scenic studio studio backdrop and an ornate patterned carpet floor.
