About This Image

This scan does little justice to the trio it depicts. A small boy dominates the center of the image. He is rendered clearly wearing a white lace collar and pantaloons. His mother (to the right) is less clear. She holds his hand over the page of a favorite book. The father is the other prominent presence in this image. Legs crossed, hand tucked in his vest, and arm raised with a cigar between his fingers, he is the epitome of the petit-bourgeois.

Most U.S. domestic Fed Ex ground shipping (Media Mail for books) is free of charge except for larger and heavier items, or unless the buyer wants express shipping (email us your requests for the latter). International shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania buyers must pay appropriate local sales tax. International clients are responsible for their local customs duties and taxes, which will be charged by Fed Ex, which will contact the client prior to delivery.
