Hello,
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon your fabulous blog while researching an old photo I'd just purchased - what a wonderful resource! Your grandsons are very fortunate...
So, my photo is of a cowboy holding 2 babies and a six-shooter in an old black gesso frame, Art Nouveau style. The paper on the back of the frame is definitely old, darkened by age & brittle.
The odd thing about my pic is the background is sepia but the figure is in black & white, with a bit of obvious retouching on the infant's hands; almost looks like a composite. Could it have been some sort of publicity shot? The visible area measures 13"h by 10"w...
Would you mind taking a look at it? Here's a link:

I purchased it from an estate sale in El Cerrito, CA.
Thanks very much for your blog,
Subie
