Amazing Early 20th C.Ship Building Scaffolding Real Photo Postcard brittan animals about 9 inches from top

about 9 inches from top of figure's head to end of strings

Since finding a winder-in-a-bottle whimsy this past summer

Plenty of dings and some paint loss as pictured

I like utilitarian signs that have the capacity to signal meaning based on context

Amazing Early 20th C.Ship Building Scaffolding Real Photo Postcard brittan animals about 9 inches from topI find this photograph pretty incredible, documenting the vast, elaborate scaffolding used for constructing what appears to be a steel ship. The image is a bit over exposed, but for me this makes the dense matrix of beams feel all the more delicate, skeletal, and rather otherworldly, and the shadows against the bow of the shop are pretty fantastic too. 3 1 2" x 5 3 8" with a postcard back with a few pencil scrawls on it. Very good condition.
