Fred Harvey Photomatic Portrait of Young Man with Gun and Bandaid row boat And quite a wonderful collection

And quite a wonderful collection I think it is

which has holes drilled at the center of either long side

in part for their calming effects

clear and clean and not brittle in the least

and would make for a spectacular cocktail service

Fred Harvey Photomatic Portrait of Young Man with Gun and Bandaid row boat And quite a wonderful collectionI assume, as he looks to be holding a real gun, that this very beautiful boy is in fact a very young soldier and I have learned that during WW2 Fred Harvey's Harvey House restaurants re opened to serve soldiers as they traveled in troop trains across the U. S so perhaps that is when this Photomatic was taken. I find it quite a stunning portrait, including for the bright intensity of his gaze and posture, and that bandage stretching from temple to ear.
