Little Boy Blue, 1900.
From New England circa 1900 comes a young fellow who looks like he’d rather be somewhere else, wearing anything but this ridiculous getup Aunt Polly made him put on. Good thing they haven’t invented the Internet yet, kid. 5×8 inch glass negative, probably an estate-sale find. source and caption: Shorpy at Juniper Gallery
