A baby in a white bonnet and long white coat sits in a small four-wheeled toy carriage built to look like an open motorcar, with a steering wheel and a push handle at the back. The child is posed outdoors on a gravel path, dense foliage behind. Toy vehicles scaled for children, pushed or pedaled, copied the full-size cars of the day and were common playthings in the 1910s, when a motorcar on the street still drew a crowd.
