Antique 1890s Cabinet Card Photo Child on Hay Bale w/Large Ticked English Setter:
$45.00

Offered for your consideration is a deeply charming, authentic late-Victorian cabinet card portrait capturing a wonderfully staged rustic studio scene of a young child and their loyal hunting dog.

ITEM DETAILS & HISTORICAL CONTEXT:

Dating precisely to the 1880s or 1890s, this original studio portrait features a premier example of 19th-century childhood and canine vernacular photography. The image depicts a young toddler beautifully dressed in a formal dark dress coat with an oversized ruffled white lace collar and leather button shoes. The child is seated on a rustic bale of hay or straw, backed by a country-style fence prop crafted from rough unpeeled birch logs. Resting calmly and protectively in the foreground right next to them is an enormous, beautifully marked English Setter or large ticked Spaniel hunting dog. The dog features a stunning spotted coat and long feathered ears, captured with an incredibly soulful expression looking toward the lens.

• Format: Original Victorian photographic print mounted on a heavy cardstock cabinet card base.

• Dimensions: Standard cabinet card size (approx. 4.25" x 6.5").

• Condition: Excellent antique condition. The photograph displays wonderful warm sepia tones, rich shadow depths, and razor-sharp focal clarity throughout the textures of the hay, the child's lace, and the dog's ticked fur coat. The mount card is very sturdy with clean edges and minimal authentic corner handling wear. Please review photos for full detail.

SHIPPING & HANDLING:

Your historic photograph will be handled with the utmost care to ensure it arrives at your doorstep safely.

• Secure Protective Packaging: The cabinet card will be securely sandwiched between two thick pieces of rigid cardboard to prevent any bending, folding, or corner crushing during transit. It will then be shipped inside a durable, weather-resistant cardboard mailer.

• Fast & Reliable Shipping: Your order will be securely packaged and shipped out fast—within 1 business day of receiving cleared payment. Full tracking information will be provided automatically.
