Two Boys 1870 - 1899

"Two Boys" is a cabinet card photograph by L.W. Felt taken between 1870 and 1899, now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. The photograph features two young boys, formally dressed in suits, standing in a studio setting. The boys' serious expressions and the formal pose contribute to the timeless quality of this charming portrait. Cabinet cards were a popular form of photography in the late 19th century and allowed photographers to produce and sell images quickly and cheaply.
