The record names its subject as Jennie Camillo, an eight-year-old girl, and places the picture in Philadelphia. Its title gives the child's name and age, which makes it a portrait of one young person rather than a view of the city's streets or landmarks. Photographs of children from working-class neighborhoods in Philadelphia and other large American cities were often made in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when documentary photographers recorded immigrant families, tenements and child labor. Looking closely at a picture like this one can tell you a good deal about how ordinary city life was seen and recorded in that era.
