I wonder what a black man is doing with a white child at that time. Interesting! I love old photos. They have so much history and mistery :)

It does seem odd doesn't it. The child looks comfortable with the man as well I cant imagine what brought them together. It's a though provoking photograph, allows you to use your imagination. This is the type of photo I love,

I'd love to know the story behind the photo

I think I've seen photos like this. I think it's like a picture that people would take of their children with the slaves that took care of them. I could be wrong but I always thought that may be it.

Vintage portrait!

This woman's dress and hair style and the composition of the portrait look like 1860s to me. Is there a basis for the "ca. 1875" date?

The dog looks rather like an Irish Wolfhound. The massive size fits too.
The Casas-Rodríguez Postcard Collection said:
No doubt, a breathtaking portrait. The proportions of the framing and the solid black background enhance the couple's transcendence. The dog leans with such calmness on the lady's lap and she holds his head between her hands in such a way, that I feel they are true companions.

She looks so worried. So concerned. Not happy at all. But it is the negative space that make this so powerful to me. Lovely
