Stunning 1905 "Japan Lilies" Homemade Stereoview Signed W. S.Davis primitive object this old hand-carved spoonI have an artist dealer friend in Maine who has been the source of a series of very wonderful and unusual stereoviews the dragonflies and Great Storm of 1870 hail stones last week, and these Asiatic lilies, too. Gorgeous, and with the light hitting the dark fabric backdrop, exposing ripples and folds, lending a very immediate sort of intimacy. Signed on reverse "W. Davis" and dated 1905, with a note that the photograph was printed on "Solio" paper
