About this postcard

A young boy stands in a studio, wearing a dark suit, tie, and lace-up boots, one hand resting on an ornate carved chair beside a decorative pedestal. The portrait is vignetted, fading softly at the edges. Formal studio portraits of children in their best clothes were common in the early 1900s, often made to share with family and friends.
