Marvelously Weird Cabinet Card "Boudoir Photo" of Girl with Wand and Armored Statue antique police alarm and I must say it

and I must say it makes me pretty happy just to look at them

but it's the flip side that is the really special one to me

which I believe would have been used for hunting (impaling) frogs

dated 1833

On the back inside cover is a great little drawing of a man in orange coat

Marvelously Weird Cabinet Card "Boudoir Photo" of Girl with Wand and Armored Statue antique police alarm and I must say itThis 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
