G) and the year 1906

one of the few 19th century American makers of artists paint

This vase--stamped 4010 on the bottom--is in very good vintage condition

It's funny what sets our various hearts racing--this one completely did it for me

Intense Preacher with Bible and Raised Hand, Antique Cabinet Card Photo handblown G) and the year 1906A wonderfully intense photograph, late 19th century I believe, with this preacher looking very fire and brimstone evangelical to me. (He reminds me a bit of Joaquin Phoenix in The Master, too!) I love that his feet didn't quite make it into the frame making it seem as if he were standing right there, having walked up the the alley and now arriving at one's doorstep, delivering The Word. 6 1 2" x 4 1 4" as mounted. Loss to upper right corner of card
