Antique Sepia Toned Rattlesnake Photograph antique handmade broom There is one old split

There is one old split in the wood of the seat

I've become a huge fan of these old wooden Czech "ramp walkers

made to hold drill bits

broadly smiling and waving bear

but then grab it to serve sushi and small treats of all sorts

Antique Sepia Toned Rattlesnake Photograph antique handmade broom There is one old splitI can't imagine encountering a rattlesnake and doing anything other than quietly backing away, but some brave soul managed to take this photograph long ago. It was mounted on card, and then much more recently someone taped it to cream paper, from which is is easily removed. I really like how closely cropped the the image is just barely containing the snake and amplifying a sense of immediate danger! Photograph measures 2 7 8" x 1 3 4". As mounted: 6"
