Cabinet card photograph dated April 26, 1896 depicting a child posed reflected in a mirror with a favorite doll and large dog resting at his feet. The verso bears a handwritten identification and date.

The child stands beside a tall framed mirror, looking slightly past the camera while their reflected profile is visible in the glass. A doll dressed in dark clothing is positioned on a textured studio prop beneath the mirror. At the child’s feet lies a large long-haired dog with head raised and mouth slightly open. The setting includes a painted studio backdrop with foliage, along with a draped floor covering and fur or textile props arranged around the base.

The verso reads “Toddie and Billy 8 years April 26, 1896 age 4 + 4 + 4.”
