Bare foot boy wearing a hat, seated on a log

Bare foot boy wearing a hat, seated on a log,, originally uploaded by Powerhouse Museum Collection.

This gorgeous image showing a small child with a dog was uploaded to the Commons project yesterday. There is an interesting toy cat on the ground next to the boy with the words ‘tabby cat’ written on it. In this week’s batch there is also a portrait of a small girl holding, what appears to be a dog, titled ‘Portrait of young girl in white smock’.

This unusual collection was acquired by the Museum in the 1980s and appears to have been made by a Sydney based photographic studio from around 1890 through to 1920. It covers leisure scenes, performing arts through boxing and fencing scenes, sailing and portraits.
