Scope and content

Cream card with embossed text at bottom, "Gillespie" within a decorative artist's palette and brushes design, and "New Castle, Pa." The photograph is a full length portrait of a young boy standing on a chair piled with furs. He wears a dark jacket with high lace cuffs and wide, square collar toward the back (visible on the right shoulder) and an ascot tie. Instead of cropped trousers, he wears a skirt. A muffin-shaped hat is on his head.

Notes area

Physical condition

Fair. The card is quite dirty and the image is faded. Someone has inked in the eyes, and a outline of the top of the cap. Surface scratches in the emulsion.
