Moody Young Athlete with Ribbon on Chest, Old Snapshot Photo victorian sailor that’s how I see it

that’s how I see it

a form of mercury sulfide

with a bit of loss to the butterfly as documented

the form wonderfully graphic and sculptural

and many pages feature the page number hand-written next to the printed one

Moody Young Athlete with Ribbon on Chest, Old Snapshot Photo victorian sailor that’s how I see itI just love this young man, looking awkward and a bit unhappy, but I think that frown veiling the fact that he actually felt quite proud of the ribbon pinned to his chest! With those muscular legs, I take him for a runner and this photo makes me think of the loneliness of a long distance one! Feels like he wants company. 3 1 2" x 2 1 2" and in very good condition, c. 1940s or so, I believe.
