Here is another unidentified boy. We do not know who he is. It is interesting especially because of the clear depiction of the boy's straw hat. He wears a long pants sack suit. Most boys in the 1860s wore long pants. Also we see a nice pooch that does not seem to be a studio prop. The boy has longish hair. It is a rare portrait of a boy on the floor rather than sitting in a chair or standing up. This was presumably done to bring the dog into the photograph. As this was a rare pose, we suspect it was done because the bvoy wanted it rather than suggested by the photographer. The portrait style clearly dates it to the 1860s. He looks to be about 10 years old.
