SOLD Super Painterly Photo of Flag and Shore Printed from Aboard the Canadian Pacific Duchess kindergarten history Based on other ginger jars

Based on other ginger jars to which it bears closest resemblance

This beautiful Inuit bird leans dramatically in one direction

though the beautiful quality of that tiny bit of text recalls the handwriting of an earlier era

and feels great in the hand

but the photo still really great

SOLD Super Painterly Photo of Flag and Shore Printed from Aboard the Canadian Pacific Duchess kindergarten history Based on other ginger jarsA very painterly and poetic feeling old photo, which a stamp on the back reveals was taken, and printed, aboard the Canadian Pacific Line's SS Duchess of Bedford, a steamship built and launched in 1928. I just love the atmospheric quality of the image, as if taken on a very moody and foggy day, with soft edged landmasses on the horizon and just the edge of what I take for an American flag in the foreground, its stripes framing and defining the view ,
