A lovely portrait of a little boy showing his paper lantern. He stands on a tree stump and smiles sweetly. The Asian lantern is an example of the oriental interest in Europe around the turn of the century. The clothing shows the wealthy status of the child. Since it is a cyanotype, it is possible that someone from the family made and printed the photo.

Cyanotype with good tonality.

ca. 14 x 10,2 cm
