Cabinet card photograph of a young boy posed with a white rabbit, by J. M. Heath of Atwood, Illinois, late 19th century.

The boy stands facing the camera wearing a dark jacket with large decorative buttons, a wide ruffled collar and cuffs, and knee-length trousers with tall lace-up boots. A floral boutonniere is pinned to his jacket. His right hand rests on a rustic stand draped with straw or grasses, atop which a live white rabbit sits with ears extended. The studio backdrop features patterned panels and decorative motifs, contrasting with the naturalistic prop at right.

The mount reads “J. M. Heath, Atwood, Ill.” at lower margin. The verso is blank with no additional markings.
