Thomas Haller Buchanan said...: Yes, thank you. I have corrected the spelling.

I feel that my mission with this blog is to share images from my morgue and collection, and not to necessarily be an encyclopedia of information regarding those images. Many of these images are in my life because of their impact on the senses, and related information had become superfluous. When I did have labels, they were quickly inscribed on the backs of images and were not always complete or accurate.

This particular image was originally sourced from an old German periodical and the text was beyond my ken to translate.

MY POINT IS, I welcome information of this sort from knowledgeable viewers and encourage it for the benefit of other visitors to this site. Where possible, I ask everyone to please do share as much info as is reasoonable.; August 13, 2009 at 8:40 AM
