Cabinet card photograph depicting an elderly man standing beside a small four-wheeled handcart bearing the word “Holiness.” The cart also carries a panel reading “Truth,” suggesting an evangelical or religious street mission cart used for distributing literature or preaching materials.
The man stands holding the long handle of the cart and wears a dark coat and cap. The photograph was taken in a studio setting but clearly documents the distinctive cart used in religious outreach activity associated with holiness or revivalist movements in the late nineteenth century.
The mount reads “Higgins – Cabinet Portraits – Bath, Maine.” The reverse bears the imprint J. C. Higgins & Son, Photographers, 138 Front Street, Bath, Me. Cabinet card photograph, late nineteenth century.
