Figure 28.--This CDV of a child is unidentified. It is not clear if the child is a girl or boy. I suspect the child is a boy. One factor here is that the outfit the child is wearing is rather plain. But either a boy or girl could have worn it. The hair is very short, suggesting a boy, but the center part was commonly a girl's style. This CDV does have a photographer attribution "Harding and Smalley, Photographic Artists, Main St. Towanda, Penn."

This CDV of a child is unidentified. All we know for sure is that the child is American. We would say the age is 4-5 years old. It is not clear if the child is a girl or boy. I suspect the child is a boy. The facial cracteristics see rather boyish, but this is difficult to really be sure about with children this age. One factor here is that the outfit the child is wearing is rather plain. But either a boy or girl could have worn it. The hair is very short, suggesting a boy, but the center part was commonly a girl's style. This CDV does have a photographer attribution "Harding and Smalley, Photographic Artists, Main St. Towanda, Penn." The child is not identified nor is this CDV dated. The style of the clothing, and the very plain mount suggest a Civil War or just post Civil War date for this portrait. We would estimate that it was taken in the 1860s or very early 70s.
