This is a fun antique photo. A little barefoot boy sits inside an early pedal car. It reflects the style of early autmobiles. I am not sure if it was manufactured or home made. We welcome info from you experts. The boy is identified on the back in script as "John Conway, 1906". Unfortunately we do not know where he lived in America. John wears a white blouse and knee pants. It is clearly summer which is why he is barefoot. We note quite a number of American boys who were barefoot even when dressed up for church or other formal occassion. When the weather got cooler, John almost certainly would have worn long stockings.
