This cabinet card card did not indicate the studio. It is a standard size, but the mount, especially the color, suggests it is one of the new styles that appeared about the turn-of-the 20th century. This and the Fauntleroy clothing suggest that the portrait was taken about 1900-05. We do know the boy's name--Clarence L. Dresser. He looks to be about 5 years old. Clarence has an elaborate Fauntleroy blouse, but without matching wrist cuff ruffles. He also has a large floppy bow, white knee pants, and black long stockings. His hair in done in ringlets, but with the hair drawn back at the fortehed instead if bangs. He holds a coronet, but this is probably a studio prop rather than an instrument he is kearning to play.
