This unique cabinet card photograph is chock full of interesting things to look at. Note the garden gnome, the pumpkin, and the dog lying on what looks to be a towel. Also note how the photographer chose to pose his subjects. On the ground level the boy and girl are in the center and they are flanked by three women on each side. A man is standing in the center of the porch and he is in the middle between two couples. The gnome, dog and pumpkin are strategically placed in the front center of the photo. The photographer’s need for order and balance may tell us something about his personality. It would be interesting to know more about the subjects and their relationship to one another. SOLD
