This piece is unsigned

with nicely detailed face and all over spots

Joints at shoulders and elbows are securely connected by wire

with these thin black threads tethering the two together

It then focusies on the techniques of producing a manuscript book: tools and materials

Childs Art Gallery 1890 Glass Plate Negative of Young Woman with Flowers Inuit This piece is unsignedSo lovely. I know from the seller that I purchased this from that it dates to 1890s or so and came from the archive of the Childs Art Gallery, one of the oldest and largest photographic studios in Upper Michigan. Founded by Brainard F. Childs in 1868, Childs Art Gallery was famous for artistic portraiture, and the glass plate negatives make for extremely sharp prints. Included in the photos is a positive made from the plate. I really love this young
