Small losses here and there

just as if rare specimens

documents of a very particular moment in time

and would very much hold its own amid a salon style wall of painted landscapes

and the cards themselves are cardstock weight

Boy in Suit with Fur Rug and Patterns Everywhere (on Grass???), Wonderful Antique Mounted Photo Arthur Armour zodiac tray Small losses here and thereI'm really fond of this one. What a lot packed in here! And then this beatific young boy looking as if about to be beamed up to heaven or somewhere! (And notice the pansy stuck in at the collar of his coat.) Pattern, pattern everywhere. And fur, too. But then look at the ground and it looks like grass to me suggesting the whole set up as arranged inside of a photographer's tent somewhere? Weird and wonderful Victoriana. 5 1 8" x 4 1 4" mounted. Good
