Moody Young Athlete with Ribbon on Chest, Old Snapshot Photo victorian sailor I worried a good amount

I worried a good amount about the condition of things

the form wonderfully graphic and sculptural

with a bit of loss to the butterfly as documented

Pages are held together with greenish thread pulled through two small holes in the paper and tied in a bow

Moody Young Athlete with Ribbon on Chest, Old Snapshot Photo victorian sailor I worried a good amountI just love this young man, looking awkward and a bit unhappy, but I think that frown veiling the fact that he actually felt quite proud of the ribbon pinned to his chest! With those muscular legs, I take him for a runner and this photo makes me think of the loneliness of a long distance one! Feels like he wants company. 3 1 2" x 2 1 2" and in very good condition, c. 1940s or so, I believe.
