Looks to be in pretty nice condition for a 150 year old photo.

About Mathew Brady
Mathew Brady Introduction
And there are other sites out there but to me something doesn't pass the smell test. The "document" could be for any person and have nothing to do with this child or it could be the child's father and this could be a shot of a sharecroppers children well after the Civil War. Every cabinet card, that I have come across in my short search, if it has Brady on the front it is on the left bottom corner and on the right bottom corner it says New York and none said Brady in the center of the cards with no City name.

If this person paid as much as the article said he did he was royally ripped off unless there is something that isn't being shown- why don't they show the back of the photo?
