Old Real Photo Postcard of Bare Chested Man with Folded Arms 1889 and all the more enjoyable

and all the more enjoyable when played with beautiful antique bone and ebony dominoes

typically commissioned by wealthy foreigners and engraved with their monograms

I see old pewter ice cream molds around now and then and always think they're cool

especially when they've got such good alligatored paint as this rabbit

While it is more common to find hand-painted bluebirds like these on ceramic pieces than on glass

Old Real Photo Postcard of Bare Chested Man with Folded Arms 1889 and all the more enjoyableWhen I am looking for things, and including for the fact that I sell a lot to artists and creative people of various sorts, I often think in terms of what they might inspire or give rise to. For me, this real photo postcard is incredibly evocative, both in and of itself as a stunning photograph, and in terms of immediately making me want to invent a backstory and indeed a whole life for this man. Really beautiful, and an image I think I'd never tire
