Here we have a rather unusual cabinet photo of a little boy laying on a fancy sofa. Almost always boys were either standing up or sitting down for photographs. The photograph is undated, but was probably taken in the early 1900s. He has long ringlet curls and wears a velvet jacket with piping. I'm not sure if he is wearing knickers or kneepants. The portrait is enscribed H.R. Montgomery on the back. The boys is Lyman Montgomery. We do not know where he lived in America.
