About this postcard

A small child in a white dress and a large white hair bow stands inside a child's canvas teepee set up on the grass beside a clapboard house with shuttered windows and a railed porch. The teepee is formed of poles crossed at the top with a dark triangular opening, a typical amateur snapshot of early-20th-century domestic play. No caption or imprint identifies the sitter or location.
