I don't think this is a p.m. photo.Thank you for the great information jim1.
The pose doesn't look right.
Usually children are posed lying down either in a crib or mother's arms.
You do see some where children are posed to appear alive but I don't think this is one.
There was a practice I believe of some photographers giving problematic children
a drop of Laudanum to quiet them down but I don't know how common that was.
Skirts usually didn't come with pockets so where does one put one's hanky?
Mid-late 1870's.Thank you jim1.
It seems to me that the child might be deceased. (so probably Victorian)Thank you for your post.
(but you'll have to wait until the experts put a real date to this)
