1890s cabinet card by Haigh & Downes of Halifax

Portrait of an unknown child. No more has been discovered about Haigh and Downes of King Cross, Halifax. Unusually for the period the lettering looks like it has been (badly) applied with a John Bull Printing kit stamp, so perhaps this was a temporary endeavour.
