Who is this little girl and on what occasion was she dollied up and taken to the photographer’s studio?  It must have been jaw droppingly expensive back then and while she might have been from a well-off family (she is dressed well), the snap is in the most simple wooden frame and mounted on brown paper.

Found in a Lisbon junk shop, this little photo makes me happy and sad.  I just can’t help wondering where she is now and why it has ended up tossed aside.

How cool is the photographer?  I love the use of the corner mirror;  it really does create the illusion that there are five identically dressed little girls in the snap.
