Cabinet card photograph showing a uniformed man delivering a small child in a large leather mail bag over his arm. In his hand he holds a stack of letters, reinforcing the suggestion that he worked as a mail carrier or postal employee.

The man wears a bowler hat and buttoned uniform coat with shoulder strap supporting the mail bag. The child sits on the bag and wears a large bonnet and dress, creating an affectionate domestic portrait combined with occupational imagery.

The mount is printed C. N. Denault, Fall River, Mass. The reverse advertises the studio’s portrait services and notes that negatives were preserved for future prints. Late nineteenth-century cabinet card combining family portraiture with occupational identity.
