Sailors on Boat Deck Looking Every Way But at the Camera, Antique Snapshot fine tool but all of it metal

Sailors on Boat Deck Looking Every Way But at the Camera, Antique Snapshot fine tool but all of it metalThe focus on this one isn't crystal sharp (certainly holding a camera still while breaking the waves is no easy feat) but it is sharp enough, and rich, and very atmospheric, and I absolutely love it for the simultaneity of gazes in all different directions, including two men looking through binoculars, boy looking over his shoulder, and man with mustache looking up at him. A dynamic dance of directional gazes, every way but at the camera. 5 1 8" x 3 7
