Boy in Suit with Fur Rug and Patterns Everywhere (on Grass???), Wonderful Antique Mounted Photo Arthur Armour zodiac tray Watercolor and graphite on laidI'm really fond of this one. What a lot packed in here! And then this beatific young boy looking as if about to be beamed up to heaven or somewhere! (And notice the pansy stuck in at the collar of his coat.) Pattern, pattern everywhere. And fur, too. But then look at the ground and it looks like grass to me suggesting the whole set up as arranged inside of a photographer's tent somewhere? Weird and wonderful Victoriana. 5 1 8" x 4 1 4" mounted. Good
