"Roy Powell and Pets," Roxbury, MA, Wonderful July 8, 1896 Mounted Photograph layered painting like paintings on the walls

like paintings on the walls of Lascaux

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

Just a great little studio pottery vase

I want to guess Sunderland but am not completely sure

The legs thread into the flat of the stool

"Roy Powell and Pets," Roxbury, MA, Wonderful July 8, 1896 Mounted Photograph layered painting like paintings on the wallsI 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.
