| EEW-158. WILL-O'-THE-WISP! At first glance the resealed sixth plate is unusual because of all the space around the youngster seated on that large wooden chair. He was dressed nicely and wore an apprehensive expression on his face. Full frontal illumination brightly bathed his body. An effort was made to color his flesh tones. WAIT A MINUTE! What was that extra bulge below his ear? Closer inspection revealed a gloved hand holding the small subject by the scruff of his neck. Either the operator couldn't afford a head restraint or the boy resisted the cold hard forged metal on his skin, forcing the man to ask the child's slender and supple mother to hide behind his torso and gasp him thusly. I can't explain the faint marks on his face that run diagonally across the cloth behind the lad. They aren't scratches. Dark patina and many white flecks are on the silver. His worn leather case does have a separated cover. $150 |
