This attractive child wears a long infant dress and a delicate necklace. It’s obvious baby’s attention has been captured off to the side, as he is looking intently in that direction. Probably the mother was over there to distract and reassure her child during the photographic process.
On the back of the card, the child is identified as Franklin Clark. I think there is a date there, but it could be 1/25 or 11 25. That’s an 11 month span of difference, plus no year.
Little Franklin was photographed at the Neville Studio in London, Ontario.
Pretty Neat!

I believe this may be Franklin W Clark b 6 July 1877, d 10 Jun 1885 at almost 8 yrs of age. He was the son of Job J and Minnie S Wildman Clark. This timeframe fits with the photographer David S Neville, b about 1840, who lived in Columbus (30 minutes from London) and was a photographer in the 1870, 1880 censuses; he moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado and was a photographer there in the 1902 city directory and the 1910 census.
