Tintype studio portrait of a young child and chicken. 3 3/4 x 2 1/2 in. Uncased.
An unusual portrait of a young child posing with their arm around a chicken, evidently beloved to be included in the portrait. Early photographs of chickens are nearly exclusively captured in livestock and barnyard settings, not in the context family pets.
An image rarer than hen's teeth.
