TWO ADORABLE IDENTIFIED BABIES IN WHITE GOWNS : HAMBURG, IOWA : CABINET CARD:
$75.00

This cabinet card photograph features two young children posed together in a studio setting. The children are identified on the reverse of the photograph as Harold and Gordon Smith. Both children wear long white dresses typical of late 19th-century or early 20th-century attire for infants and toddlers, regardless of gender. The dresses are detailed with lace and embroidery, giving an elegant and formal appearance. The baby on the left appears to be an infant. The child has short hair. Their gaze is directed slightly to the side, and the baby appears calm. The child rests their left hand on the hand of their sibling. The child on the right appears to be older than their sibling. The child is likely a toddler. They are holding the younger sibling protectively, with one arm wrapped gently around the infant's body. The older child's facial expression is curious and focused, as they look directly at the camera. This interaction suggests a bond between the siblings, with the older child appearing to offer stability, protectiveness, and care. The children are seated together on what seems to be a draped surface, possibly an upholstered chair or an artificial rock prop often used in studio photography of the period. The older child supports the infant, ensuring they are steady for the photograph. This pose emphasizes familial affection and the relationship between the siblings. The backdrop is a painted studio scene with intentional soft, out-of-focus elements, including what appears to be foliage and a faint suggestion of a fence or outdoor setting. This photograph was taken by M.F. Phillips. He operated a studio in Hamburg, Iowa. Hamburg is located in southwest Iowa. This cabinet card portrait is in excellent condition. (See Scans)
