Box with Key and Handsome Hen, Sweet c. 1940s Snapshot, Framed As Found intelligence test 3 7/16" x 2 7/16"I love a photo of a kid or adolescent standing proudly beside a prized farm animal, and here what a good combination of slightly awkward looking young man and very handsome hen! She's of the Plymouth Rock variety, I believe, and he looks to me pretty smitten with her! I also really like that just to the right of the stump upon which she is perched we glimpse a single key hanging from his belt. I'd call this a valentine of just my sort! Framed: 7 5 8"
