Anxious Girl in Stripes with Pigeons in Atlantic City, Wonderful (and highly relatable) 1948 Photo root wood making me imagine a toll

making me imagine a toll booth with a 25 cent passage fee

really nice and useful for everything

perhaps within which the cabinet door once hung

Gilt brass with black enamel

The carved and painted bird looks to me to be German / Black Forest

Anxious Girl in Stripes with Pigeons in Atlantic City, Wonderful (and highly relatable) 1948 Photo root wood making me imagine a tollThis girl after my own heart, somewhat awkward and also slightly traumatized, while still also eager and hopeful that this pigeon should take a nibble from her hand. I love her, and her stripes, and whole scene, more pigeons gathering around at her feet. Could get out of control! On the back: Atlantic City, 1948. 4 5 8" x 3 11 16". Photo, matte paper.
