Description:
This is an old fashioned photographer poised to take a picture with a view camera and flash powder holder. It is in perfect condition with no flaws that I can find. The bottom has a foil Letton sticker and the number 404. The photographic details include a red and black dark cloth over the camera and a box of plate holders at his feet. The flash powder holder is in his left hand. A patch on his knee and one on his dark cloth suggest he may not be a highly successful businessman. If you are a stickler for photographic accuracy you will notice that the he holds a shutter release bulb in this right hand but it is not connected to the camera. Guess a tube between the bulb and the camera was too much for the sculptor to attempt. This is not a flaw since all the examples I have seen are the same.
This would be great item for a collector of photographicia or a Lefton collector. My memory is that I acquired this in the 1970s but it might have been in the early 80s.
Check my auctions for several additional items of photographica.
