Willie Blatt (United States, 1870s)
Figure 1.--This cabinet card portrait shows a boy from Reading, Pennsylvania. The portrait by the New York Gallery is undated, but we would guess it was taken in the 1870s. The boy is identified as Willie Blatt. He wears a very plain long black dress. The only decoration is a long vertical column of buttons and a very small ruffled collar. The boy looks to be about 3-4 years old. It is a long dress with a hem down to the boy's calves.
