A young boy in a dark jacket and trousers stands on a draped box, a violin bow extended in one hand and his other hand raised to his head. A music stand in front of him holds a cap. The printed caption "Ugh! Stop!" turns the pose into a comic scene, as if he is interrupting a performance. Staged child portraits like this were common in early twentieth-century studio photography and real-photo postcards.
White border mount with foxing and staining; photograph mounted on card stock; printed negative number in image corner; light corner wear.
No postmark or stamp present. Divided-back real-photo card: Davidson Bros.' Real Photographic Series (Printed in England), London & New York. Matte/other texture, white border on front. Dealer pencil mark 'DISM 3-' at top left; faint illegible pencil marks lower center.
