Sepia studio photograph of an infant in a long white gown

A faded sepia-toned cabinet-card style photograph of a baby of perhaps three to six months, dressed in a long white christening or infant gown with full sleeves, reclining against a pale upholstered cushion. The photographer’s engraved signature is visible in script at the lower right corner with what appears to be the date “92” beneath it — i.e., the photograph is c. 1892, not 1867–1874. The pencil notation on the verso (page 236) is a memorial inscription for the Rev. Benjamin Faneuil Dunkin Perry (d. 13 Jan 1874) — the dates relate to the inscription’s subject, not to the infant in the photograph. The actual sitter is therefore unidentified but was born ca. 1892 — possibly a Perry family infant from the generation after Rev. Perry’s death (a grandchild or great-grandchild). The image is mounted to a stiff card, browned and foxed at the edges.
