Full-length albumen CDV studio portrait of a Japanese child. Boston, Massachusetts: Black & Case, n.d. Publisher's imprints to mount recto and verso. Period pencil identification to mount verso “Little Japanese ‘Au Right’(?)/ Exhibited in New Bedford in 1867.” 

A Japanese child wearing a striped robe and clutching a large ornamental fan. The child’s gaze is off-center, creating an elegant profile. Photographed and published by Black & Case, James Wallace Black and John G. Case were two prominent partners and daguerreotype artists in Boston.

 A beautiful studio portrait.
