Boy Studio Portrait Rustic Fence Stone Pedestal Backdrop Postcard c1910s Photo
This is a silver gelatin photograph that is unmounted and is 5½ x 3½ inches (139x88mm).
It shows a boy standing in a photographer's studio, posed between a rustic fence made of branches and a stone pedestal. His hand rests on the top rail of the fence. The pedestal has a panel with an octagonal moulding and stands in front of a painted stone wall. The painted backdrop has flowers and foliage, and a patterned cloth covers the floor. The image is printed sideways on the card.
The reverse has a printed postcard back headed 'Post Card', with the sections marked 'Correspondence.' and 'Address.' The printed number '511' appears in the top right corner.
This photograph comes from a privately curated collection assembled over more than fifty years by an experienced collector. The images were individually sourced from galleries, dealers, auctions, and other collections, with a consistent focus on strong composition, atmosphere, and historical interest.
Each photograph offered has been selected on its own merits from that wider collection. The result is a group of images that are both individually compelling and part of a coherent, carefully built body of work. For collectors, this offers an opportunity to acquire material selected by a discerning eye, whether to strengthen an existing collection or to begin a new one.
This collection is being dispersed in stages, with several hundred additional photographs being listed each month.
