About this object
A full length carte de visite portrait of three unidentified children.

At the left of the image is a young girl in a dress, stockings and shawl. She wears her hair loose and stands next to a child on a high seat. In the centre of the image an infant is seated on a chair draped in a cloth. The infant wears a gingham dress and soft leather shoes.

At the right of the image a young boy stands in an embroidered jacket, matching knickerbockers and boots. The boy has one hand resting on the chair in which the infant is sitting. The children are all looking directly at the camera. The children are possibly friends or members of the Russell Duncan family.
