"A little Child Shall Lead them!" 1901

"A Little Child Shall Lead them!" is a stereoscopic photograph by Underwood & Underwood taken in 1901. This piece, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, depicts a young girl in a white dress leading a bull and a sheep on leashes in a rural landscape. The black and white image captures a charming scene of innocence and control, with the girl's small stature contrasting against the larger animals she directs. The image likely served as a popular souvenir or postcard during the early 20th century, showcasing a sentiment of childhood innocence and pastoral charm.
