« Buster Brown In Brooklyn »

This large cabinet card gets the award for best preserved antique photo – it is every collector's dream. It spent most of its life framed as evidenced by its clean condition and also by the chemical image burn-through on the back of the mount, which could only occur if enclosed.

It also takes the prize for best child's pose - what panache! He is Momma's little darling and accepts it without question.

It is hard to determine if this is a less froufrou Little Lord Fauntleroy style (1885) or a modified Buster Brown (1905) style, it doesn't quite mimic either character, the former from a book and the latter from a comic strip.

The background tells us that the Butler studio of Brooklyn was an upscale establishment.

Regardless of its declining sales, Viagra online remains extremely popular among men suffering from erectile dysfunction. Not surprisingly cheap Viagra also means that there are plenty of unscrupulous operators out there trying to cash in on Buy Cialis trend, especially online.
