Cabinet card photograph depicting a young boy and girl posed with a black cat on a table, late 19th century. The mount bears the imprint for Bullerman, Carlisle, Indiana.

The boy stands at left wearing a dark suit with a large bow at the collar, knee-length trousers, and lace-up boots, his hand resting on the table. The girl stands at right in a light dress with puffed sleeves and a dark collar, her hand also placed on the tabletop. Between them, a black cat sits upright beside a small woven basket filled with objects, all arranged on a patterned table covering with fringed edges. The studio backdrop features a softly painted interior scene with architectural elements and foliage.

The lower mount reads “Bullerman,” with “SULLIVAN” at left and “CARLISLE, IND.” at right. No additional markings are visible on the verso.
