Frowning Girl with Spaniel, Antique Tintype, Framed as Found vintage jacks set I especially love the gesture

I especially love the gesture of the figure with unrolled scroll before him

I think the lines on this old crate wood

(They certainly did me

and an unusual one for the old black and mellow gold paint on it

This is a sweet little vintage Hopi Native American pottery bowl

Frowning Girl with Spaniel, Antique Tintype, Framed as Found vintage jacks set I especially love the gestureThe first photo here shows this tintype framed exactly as I found it with the left corner of the tintype stuck in front of, rather than behind, the paper mat of the frame. I really like the effect, lending a different sort of dynamism to the photo, and with the shape formed evocative of a raindrop or teardrop, perhaps. (Of course one can do what one wishes with it; it will slide in fine behind the mat to be framed with an oval.) Great image I think,
