John Wesley Murphy scolds his fierce teddy. A cabinet card taken by the Kern Brothers, 34 2nd Street, New York City, circa 1890.
An ambrotype of grandmother and child with hand-tinted cheeks, circa 1857. They seem suspended in Time’s Rainbow. Or perhaps time’s lava lamp.
A daguerreotype of a wistful mother and son, circa 1850.
An unmarked carte de visite of a beautiful mother and daughters, circa 1869.

Is the teddy bear wearing a muzzle? Also, I love the boy’s shoes. It must have been an effort to get him into all those layers, have his stockings pulled up and his hair combed down flat.
