Always looking to be surprised by idiosyncratic, accidental, impromptu, mysterious and raw imagery found in art, architecture, antiques and photographs
A neat photo dated Sept. 8, 1942 that's for sale on Etsy. According to the seller, mothers often covered themselves to calm their babies during photo shoots. I did not know that.
Quite a few people collect 19th century tintypes of "hidden mothers", but I've never seen such a late photo of this subject.
