This is page number 31 in the Nettie Parks Album.
This is a cabinet card of a delightful little girl and her doll. It is not marked..other than the photographer Jos. Pearse of Genoa, Neb. I do not see many cabinet cards that feature toys with children.
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
I wonder whether it was her doll or one kept as a prop by the photographer. The former, I hope.
ReplyDeleteI know this photo was precious to this child.
ReplyDeleteAwww, isn't she cute!!
ReplyDeleteGenoa, Nebraska is about 130 miles due west of Council Bluffs/Macedonia Iowa. I wonder what this means...
The only US census record I can find for Joseph Pearce living in Genoa, NE is from 1900 and it shows him born in 1857 in Canada, immigrating in 1874 and his occupation as "Carpenter".
I adore her outfit.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great old photo! She's so cute....
ReplyDeletesweet thang...although she seems a bit surprised, or worried.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they put the doll into the vignette with her because she was a bit scared. You are right - I don't see too many dolls or other toys in photos either.
ReplyDeleteFabulous. I love her expression -and it looks like she may be wearing some sort of traditional costume?
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your header!
