[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. A group of 5 cabinet cards of children posed with BB guns, comprising:
Cabinet photograph of a young, well-dressed child standing in a studio, holding a BB gun in one arm while holding a small pup beside him on a leash. Sheffield, IL: Carroll, n.d. -- Cabinet photograph of a young, well-dressed lad posed with a BB gun in hand. Tremont, PA: Sigmund Gaertner, n.d. (few surface scratches to print; corner wear to mount). -- Cabinet card of young boy seated on a tree stump in a studio setting with a BB gun on his lap. Syracuse, NY: J. Doust, n.d. (toning, few stains to print). -- Seated portrait of a young boy wearing a striped blouse and shorts, holding a BB gun. Uncredited. -- Photograph on large mount showing a young boy in short pants, aiming his gun at an unknown target. Uncredited (few nicks to surface of print; soiling and significant wear to mount, including tape repair to lower left corner, previously separated).
Together, 5 photographs, 4 x 5 1/2 in., or smaller, on cardstock mounts, showing young boys with BB guns. In the spirit of the holiday season, we certainly hope that the young subjects didn't shoot their eyes out (See A Christmas Story, 1983).
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
