Figure 1.-- Here we have a cabinent portrait of Feddie Quinn with his cherished little dog. The portrait is not datedm but we would guess was taken in the 1890s. The back of the card reads "Freddy Quinn with dog he called 'My Friend'". The portrait was taken by J.W. Sires out in South Oil City, Pennsylvania. It certainly looks like a great little dog. Freddie has shoulder-length ringlet curls. The hair is not as neatly done as many boys we have noted wearing ringlet curls. He wears a rather long and very plain dress. Notice tghe metal hair which is rather unusual.

The back of the card reads "Freddy Quinn with dog he called 'My Friend'". The portrait was taken by J.W. Sires out in South Oil City, Pennsylvania. We know nothing about Freddie except thsat he was from Oil City. He looks to us to be about 4-5 years old. His little pooch certainly looks like a great little dog. The two seem very close indeed. Freddie has shoulder-length ringlet curls. The hair is not as neatly done as many boys we have noted wearing ringlet curls. He wears a rather long and very plain dress with a decorative pin-on lace collar. There is very little decoration or detailing other than the lace collar. It is a dark color, but I am not sure about the color. It does not look like black.
