Passed Out, 1931, Evocative Annotated Snapshot Portrait magic fan so moves around freely inside

so moves around freely inside when the bottle is moved

and a couple of old tape marks on reverse

Passed Out, 1931, Evocative Annotated Snapshot Portrait magic fan so moves around freely insideNot quite sure if dead drunk or just taking a nap, maybe on a rowboat(?), but I really love this image, and also how the 1931 handwritten on the border makes it feel as if summing up a year in the life. I also really like the perspective and framing, with the wedding band on his finger right in the foreground. 5 9 16" x 3 3 8". Good condition, with what may be a bit of a shadow over the left half of the photo, original to it, or perhaps a bit of flaw
