"Roy Powell and Pets," Roxbury, MA, Wonderful July 8, 1896 Mounted Photograph marie antoinette portrait lid sits flush and wire

lid sits flush and wire hinges in good shape

and the surface shows a little wear and dryness--but the face on that baby

this 1901 "Pathology & Bacteriology" notebook

gouache and graphite on paper I believe

which makes it feel all the more like a small modernist sculpture

"Roy Powell and Pets," Roxbury, MA, Wonderful July 8, 1896 Mounted Photograph marie antoinette portrait lid sits flush and wireI love this photo SO much, down to the writing on the back, identifying our boy here as a young Roy Powell of Roxbury, MA posing on July 8, 1896 with his many "pets!" I see mice (rats?) a squirrel, and several rabbits, one white above, and two black and white below. Plus a bird up top, and a dog who looks to be responsible for pulling the whole menagerie along from place to place! Pretty fabulous. 6 1 2" x 4 1 4" and in excellent condition.
