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.
This item will be shipped from Maryland. It can be combined
