Christmas Toys
c. 1924

A vintage sepia-toned photograph featuring an assortment of toys arranged in a staged setting. In the foreground, a doll in a blue coat and hat sits in a wooden wagon next to a fluffy dog toy. Behind them, a clown-faced figure with a conical hat and a checkered outfit is prominently displayed. To the right, a plush monkey toy is perched, and a wooden rocking horse partially appears in the frame. The toys are set against a plain backdrop, and the photo is mounted on a cream-colored board.
