Willie Alec Porter
This cabinet card has a pink back, pale colors were used form 1873 to 1910. Some have one color on the front of the card and another on the back of the card. This one may have had a pink front and it may be faded.
My first impression of this photo is that it was taken about 1880 and the young man was about 15 years old.
Thanks for stopping by. Do come again.
Update from Iggy:
