Wary Looking Baby on Fur, Real Photo Postcard watercolor and collage I might guess this vessel

I might guess this vessel was made to hold tobacco

Very happily

and very rare (I found a complete deck that sold at auction for $1400)

and I think it is the degree to which they take themselves seriously as portraits that I find so appealing

Wary Looking Baby on Fur, Real Photo Postcard watercolor and collage I might guess this vesselI really really love this photograph, with a marvelously wary expression on the face of this young child, who looks to wringing their hands, caught in a bit of blur of motion. The baby is lying on a fur skin of some sort, and who can blame them for not wanting to be disturbed? A wonderful and true feeling image I think, with the oval shaped masking framing it just perfectly. 5 7 16 x 3 7 16 and in good condition with light surface scratching visible
