Tower of Soap, Antique Mounted Photo of Epicierie Window Display, Quebec vintage printing blocks this one made not as

this one made not as a snuff box but perhaps as a pin cushion

with plenty of scratches and scuffs

Paintings of artists at work in their studios is one of my favorite subjects to begin with--a genre unto itself--and this sculptor also feels akin in spirit to a toymaker in his workshop

Perhaps the perfect jar for stashing the Xanax or eye drops for what is surely to be a challenging year ahead

This is not quite as large as a baseball

Tower of Soap, Antique Mounted Photo of Epicierie Window Display, Quebec vintage printing blocks this one made not asThis is a nice large photo; one doesn't need to squint to see the fantastical and rather precarious looking tower of packaged soap and soap flakes and maybe signs too piled high in the storefront window of this epicierie. Fun, and an homage to cleanliness if I ever saw one, as well as a wonderful embodiment of the fine art of shop window display. Stamped what looks like J. O Dubui Victoriaville, Quebec at lower left. Overall: 13 7 8" x 11 7 8". Photo:
