A Young Boy on a Trike in St. Louis
Missouri
curly haired young boy with tightly pursed lips poses for his portrait at the
carpeted Rino studio in St. Louis, Missouri. The studio was located at 801
A Franklin Avenue at the time this photograph was taken. Even though the boy
in this image projects a less than desirable expression, this is a wonderful portrait
of a turn of the century tricycle. August Rino is listed in “Pioneer Photographers
from the Mississippi to the Continental Divide” (2005). Rino was active in Chicago
between about 1858 and 1860 and operated in St. Louis between 1860 and 1875.
