Boy with a Tricycle, circa 1895
01
Artifact Overview
Professional photographers began producing cabinet cards in 1867. Consumers quickly preferred them over earlier cartes-de-visite, which were mounted on smaller cardboard stock. Through the early 1900s, Americans commonly exchanged and collected cabinet photographs of family, friends and celebrities. This example depicts a young boy, who posed with a tricycle in Detroit's McMichael Studio around 1895.
