‘Bowery Boy’
Bowery Boy. Private Collection.
This one feels special to me. This young man walked the streets my characters roam in their little universe. He has kind eyes, don’t you think? And he was right smack in the middle of the slums.

Unknown Sitter from Lima, NY
Anonymous from Lima N.Y. Private Collection
This CDV is probably from the early 1880s. Too bad we will never know the name of the sitter because he’s well worth remembering! Notice the diamond pattern of his tie and the triangle stud.
Photographer: E. P. Baker. Lima, NY

Later in life he became a vicar and a reverend, and authored a religious book. He suddenly passed in November 1952. A more in-depth post update on him here.
