A young girl sits posed with a wooden toy horse, the kind of studio prop that appeared often in portraits of children during the decades between 1856 and 1880. The record dates the original photograph to that span, but this print is a photomechanical reproduction made around 1982, so it copies an earlier image rather than preserving the original negative. Photographers of the period often used toys and furniture to make sitting children look at ease, and the horse here shows how a familiar plaything could become part of a formal portrait.
