Cabinet card photograph of a member of "St. Aloysius" fraternal lodge with young child. Man is standing and has dark hair and a mustache. He wears a light colored shirt with what appears to be a cape, a pinafore with a large cross and pin and the words "ST. ALOYSIUS" across his shirt, dark trousers, and a hat. The child also appears to be standing on a carpet draped object; she wears a dark dress coat with white buttons and ribbon tied bonnet. Appears to be a painted backdrop of a room with a column and framed picture. The cardboard has a gold line piped around the edge and the words "Collamer & Son, CS., Wilkes Barre, Pa." The back reads, "Collamer & Son / Studio / Corn exchange Building / 97 PUBLIC SQUARE / WILKES BARRE, / Pa. / DUPLICATES / OR / ENLARGEMENTS CAN BE / MADE AT ANY TIME." In pencil is written, "C., $29.00, 52DG/ POSSIBLY/ FIREMAN."
