Portret van een jongen in Schotse klederdracht met boek 1860 - 1880

This small-scale portrait, likely a carte de visite, was created by Richard Allen & Son between 1860 and 1880. The image features a young boy in a Scottish kilt and a plaid shawl, holding a book. The boy's serious expression and the formal composition contribute to the traditional feel of this photographic portrait, a popular form of portraiture in the 19th century. The small dimensions of the print, measuring just 87mm by 51mm, are typical for a carte de visite. This image is likely a representation of a young boy from a Scottish family, showcasing the importance of traditional dress and education.
