Bright Eyed Child in Chair with Patterned Rug and Wallpaper, Beautiful Antique Mounted Photo antique glass bottles This butterfly shaped needle book/needleA wonderful photograph, with a terrific play of patterns and geometries all turned askew due to angle of the camera, but which framed a straight line across the bottom edge of this child's hat rim! Very rich tonally, dense with detail, very intimate feeling, and what a beautiful child. 5 1 4" x 4 1 4" overall and in good antique condition, c. 1900 or so I believe.
