Silver gelatin cabinet card studio portrait depicting a young little person standing beside a turned spindle-back chair within a painted interior backdrop featuring decorative wall paneling and a leaded window design.

The subject wears a long, fitted dress with short sleeves and bracelet adornments. The formal pose and controlled studio setting suggest a professional portrait rather than a casual likeness.

Photographer’s imprint at lower mount reads Wendt, Boonton N.J.

A scarce New Jersey studio portrait depicting a little person, historically described in period terminology as a dwarf. Strong ethnographic and disability history interest.
