By a tree with graffitis. Cabinet card. Private Collection.
A beautiful portrait of a fetching gentleman holding his bowler while posing by what looks like a tree trunk with graffitis on it. Interesting the photographer collected the tree trunk and thought it would be a fine prop for his studio, either that or it’s papier mache?
