Cabinet card photograph showing a young newsboy standing in a studio portrait holding a newspaper while carrying a large canvas delivery bag slung over his shoulder. The boy wears a dark suit and round brimmed hat, and is posed as if offering the paper to the viewer.

The newspaper title visible on the front reads “The Sun,” suggesting the subject is portrayed as a street news vendor distributing the well-known daily paper. The oversized delivery bag and extended arm reinforce the occupational theme of the portrait.

The reverse bears a handwritten inscription reading “Miss Eva and Eugene Sherwood.” Nineteenth-century occupational style cabinet card depicting a newsboy with newspaper and delivery bag.
