Alone in the Aftermath, Existential Feeling 1953 Snapshot, Athol, MA mansion with square iron nails visibleNot quite sure what happened here, but looks like the aftermath of some sort of disaster, with this sole figure in the distance, standing on what looks like some sort of pipeline, and looking out at what look like flood level waters, seeming as alone as lone can be. I do love an existential feeling snapshot. 5 7 8" x 3 1 2" and in good condition with a couple of light creases upper right corner and a bit of curling. Stamped 1953, Athol, MA on reverse.
