Antique 1897 Harold Stanley Knapp Boy Cabinet Card Photo Lot 2 Sepia 5x7in
Brand/Photographer: Unbranded studio; original antique sepia cabinet card portrait photographs featuring Harold Stanley Knapp as a young boy in 1897.
One image presents a full-length studio portrait of the boy standing and facing slightly to the side, dressed in a long dark overcoat with a wide fur collar, bowler-style hat, high lace-up boots, and collared shirt and tie against a neutral backdrop.
The companion image shows a seated three-quarter length portrait of the same boy wearing a dark suit, waistcoat, white shirt, and tie, posed with one hand resting on the scroll arm of an ornate carved studio chair and the other along the opposite arm, again set before a plain painted background.
The gray cabinet card mounts have embossed rectangular borders around the photographic prints, and the reverse sides carry handwritten identifications including the sitter's full name, his age of nine years, and the date April 8, 1897.
Format: two unframed sepia photographic prints on paper mounted to gray cabinet card boards, each cabinet card measuring approximately 5 x 7 inches, suitable for collections focused on late 19th century children's portraiture, social history, and genealogy.
Condition: Antique sepia cabinet card portrait pair shows handling and storage wear from age. Photographic images display light surface scuffs, faint scratches, and scattered tiny white specks visible in reflected light, including a small light spot near the lower coat area of the standing portrait. Gray card mounts have mild corner and edge wear with small nicks, slight rounding, subtle toning, and handwritten identifications on the reverse, while the images remain sharp and well defined.
