Original black-and-white vernacular snapshot, continuous-tone silver-gelatin print with scalloped deckled edges (no halftone dot pattern under magnification). Photo corners show typical album-mount wear/tears.

Subject: a young toddler bundled in a dark winter snowsuit and knit cap, smiling for the camera while holding up a striped pole-style toy (hobby horse style toy) on a snow-dusted sidewalk beside a lawn and a house with visible siding and a fence in the background.

Dating evidence: month and year "January 1958" handwritten in ink along the front border of the print — this is the strongest available date marker; no verso markings are shown/verified in this listing.

Size: approximately 3x5 inches, loose print, unmounted.

Condition: VG — light corner wear/tears from prior album mounting consistent with age, otherwise clean image with good contrast; no tape, writing across the image, or trimming noted. Paper type and any back stamps are not confirmed.

A charming piece of mid-century childhood/winter vernacular photography — great for found-photo, ephemera, or 1950s-aesthetic collections.
