He' d be 90 years old or so but this boy could still be alive today. I hope he went on to live a happy life.

https://www.shorpy.com/ often has great old photos, often scanned from medium/large format glass plates that you can click on to view VERY high resolution copies where you can see amazing details in shops, building/architecture, people, etc....
