African-American Boy CDV

Carte-de-visite (CDV) of an African-American boy wearing nice clothing and a dandy hat. The shot is reminiscent of other views of formerly enslaved "contraband" children who were brought to the North, though this young subject and his background is unknown. Verso bears a Pulaski, New York photographer's imprint.
