Man in Bowler with Pointer, Moody Antique Cabinet Card, Red Bank, NJ memories Ink on board

Ink on board

a silversmith in Amesbury

folded across the front of what I'm sure must be a bible

and this little doll feels pretty miraculous to me

which is how it would show when cased

Man in Bowler with Pointer, Moody Antique Cabinet Card, Red Bank, NJ memories Ink on boardI just love these too, who seem very right for each other, both with a quiet intensity look at their eyes. Something too about how this man holds one hand in the other, with the pinky free on the held one, and then a pinky ring on the other as if an offset. Feels like there is a bit of underlying tension here, waiting to be released! An a nice moodiness about the hole photo too. (Andrew R.) Coleman photographer, Red Bank, NJ, last decade 19th century
