The pillowcases

and one well well dressed mistress of ceremonies

making me very happy when I found it in inland southern Maine this week

like paintings on the walls of Lascaux

"Roy Powell and Pets," Roxbury, MA, Wonderful July 8, 1896 Mounted Photograph layered painting The pillowcasesI 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.
