"Roy Powell and Pets," Roxbury, MA, Wonderful July 8, 1896 Mounted Photograph marbles solitaire board I take the large figure

I take the large figure for a snowman

I love the way she is framed by the cascade of her long hair on one side

and with the corrosion making her seem rather like an ancient fertility figure

they are just such a treat to hold and use

There is a loop at top from which it could be hung from a wire or ribbon or string--I might suggest from the ceiling so as to float in mid-air like the sun

"Roy Powell and Pets," Roxbury, MA, Wonderful July 8, 1896 Mounted Photograph marbles solitaire board I take the large figureI 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.
