Baby in a wicker carriage in a yard, circa 1907

About this postcard

A baby sits propped in a wicker carriage on the grass of a dooryard, with a white clapboard house to one side and a barn and garden plot behind. The setting looks like a working farmstead or rural home lot, outbuildings close to the house. In this period families often had a local photographer, or a neighbor with a camera, print their own negatives as postcards, which made small domestic scenes like this one easy to share with relatives.
