This cabinet card shows an American boy wearing a knee pants suit with some Norfolk syling. And he wears black long stockings. He also has a soft, turned-up hat. We know the boy is Ed Turner as he has written his name on the back--although not very clearly. He looks to be about 11 years old. The studio set is a classical balustrade and vase. Unfortunately the portrait is undated which is unfortunate as it would help build time frames for various fashiins and vabinet cared features. The dealer suggsts the 1970s. We think the late-70s is certainly possible, but the early-80s seem more likely. The sjort knee panrs and blacl long stockings are both clues. We also think the soft hat is more charactetistic of the 80s. The photigrapher was WW Darnell in Redforth, Virginia.
