An American boy had his portrait taken, probably about 1890. He was photographed at the William A. Webster studio at Waltham, Massachusetts. The portrait is a cabinent card. The boy's name is Daniel Winn Porr, as best we can make out. (Click on the image to see if you can read the back of the cabibent card better.) Daniel has bangs wih the hair long at the side. He wears a rather unusual long
dress. In part because of his hair, we at first until we saw the back of the card thought this child was a girl.
