Children with toys are prized subject for 19th century photography collectors.
This is an 1880s cabinet card by McClaire of Seattle Washington.
The two children have a toy train locomotive and coal car sitting on (almost falling off) the adjacent column.
The little girl has a great curl in her hair!
