Figure 1.--This cabinet card portrait looks like a popular American mount style after the turn-of-the 20th cenntury. There is no studio information. We mostly see these new style mounts in America. So this portrait was most likely American. What leads us to wonder is that at the time American boys wore knee pants and long stockings. And here bthebboy in rintnappoears vto be wearing short pants without long stockings. This was especially the case of Fauntleroy outfits. Now we begin to see some boys having portraits taken barefoot, but this was less true for formal portraits like this one. And when the boys were so formally dressed as in this case. Also such short hair cuts seem more common in Europe than America.
