Wonderful c. late 20s/early 30s Snapshot of Man at Microphone Framed in Verticals knot work just presumed color fadingThe microphone glowing like a halo in front of this young man dates the photo to the late 1920s or early 30s I believe and what a wonderful sphere of focus at the center of an image that is otherwise all about straight lines! One wonders what this handsome young man was reading to his radio listeners I'd like to imagine maybe some Faulkner, or perhaps Brave New World! To my eye really a wonderful photograph, with doors upon doors receding behind him,
