A CDV-sized tintype featuring a young boy posed on a charmingly small tricycle, likely a studio prop used to create an endearing image. The tricycle, with its spoked wheels, compact frame, and simple handlebars, is an example of playful 19th-century studio photography. The boy is dressed in formal attire, including a tailored jacket, knickerbockers, and a bowler hat, exuding a timeless Victorian aesthetic. The juxtaposition of the boy’s size and the diminutive tricycle adds a whimsical quality to the photograph, while the ornate studio backdrop with elaborate furniture enhances its visual appeal.
