Baby Claire by Wendt

claireInteresting cabinet card by Wendt, whose cabinet cards usually depict theatrical and side show performers.

Here a girl points to a passage in what must be an open bible on her lap, and holds up her finger in a prophetic warning.

“Baby Claire” is written in pencil on the verso, and that may be her performing name.

This is clean undamaged image, that is just a little light in some areas, as shown.
