Marvelously Weird Cabinet Card "Boudoir Photo" of Girl with Wand and Armored Statue water tower in his finery

in his finery

and would guess if anything it was trout flies they held

This wonderful one clearly did many years of duty as a scare cat out in the garden

which could be product of having been stashed away for a very long time but I'm not 100% sure

Marvelously Weird Cabinet Card "Boudoir Photo" of Girl with Wand and Armored Statue water tower in his fineryThis girl! Quite a curious vision in her ringlets and flounces and hair flowers and magic wand in hand looking as if about to head to a ball with the statue who stands beside her, a miniature knight in shining armor as her date! What makes it ever weirder is that the stamp on the back of the card labels it as a boudoir portrait as if this awkward young thing were meant to be a seductress.. Makes me wonder about that Zeph Magill! Wonderfully weird. 8 1
