beautifully aged

I want to guess Sunderland but am not completely sure

Just a great little studio pottery vase

and one well well dressed mistress of ceremonies

making me very happy when I found it in inland southern Maine this week

"Roy Powell and Pets," Roxbury, MA, Wonderful July 8, 1896 Mounted Photograph layered painting beautifully agedI love this photo SO much, down to the writing on the back, identifying our boy here as a young Roy Powell of Roxbury, MA posing on July 8, 1896 with his many "pets!" I see mice (rats?) a squirrel, and several rabbits, one white above, and two black and white below. Plus a bird up top, and a dog who looks to be responsible for pulling the whole menagerie along from place to place! Pretty fabulous. 6 1 2" x 4 1 4" and in excellent condition.
