Antique Sepia Toned Rattlesnake Photograph Lawrence ma with very light wear and

with very light wear and minor aging/ warping to the cardboard roof

The thing itself is great

I can find no examples of his syllabic signature to compare this one to

which I think is just a beautiful object I’d hang on the wall

with incised round eyes on either side of the head and a shell pattern on his back

Antique Sepia Toned Rattlesnake Photograph Lawrence ma with very light wear andI can't imagine encountering a rattlesnake and doing anything other than quietly backing away, but some brave soul managed to take this photograph long ago. It was mounted on card, and then much more recently someone taped it to cream paper, from which is is easily removed. I really like how closely cropped the the image is just barely containing the snake and amplifying a sense of immediate danger! Photograph measures 2 7 8" x 1 3 4". As mounted: 6"
