Beloved Pet Parrot, Late 19th Century Cabinet Card Portrait radiant but it seems perhaps kinder

but it seems perhaps kinder to leave them as companions as they have made it together thus far

this would seem to me a good way to go

with a bit of stain loss here and there

(I have not polished it

with loss to what I believe was a bronzed finish

Beloved Pet Parrot, Late 19th Century Cabinet Card Portrait radiant but it seems perhaps kinderSomeone really loved their pet parrot! And a photogenic parrot it was I'd say, captured for posterity by Orgill photo studio in Hartford, CT, which seems to have operated in the 1880s 90s. Nicely atmospheric, and looks from the back as if it was glued into a family photo album, like a portrait of a belived family member. 4 1 4 x 6 1 2. A few stains, most prominently along the left edge near the center.
