This CDV portrait shows an unidentified chils wearing a dress with a large lace collar. Note the short lacy sleeves and wide sash. The portrait is undated, but looks rathe like the 1880s to us. We thought the child might be a boy because of how short his hair cut and combed in the front. The child ceratinly looks like a boy. The flower basket, hwever, is a girlish prop so we think it is more likely that the child is a girl. This is atntative assessment, but we have mot yet noted a child identified as a boy with a flower basket. We are fairlyn sure about this nwith Ameruicvan boys. Our English archive, however, is more limited so we are not yet sure about this. Of course there is not real way of telling. The studio was J. Harrison Goldie in Swansea, a coastal city in Wales.
