Marvelously Weird Cabinet Card "Boudoir Photo" of Girl with Wand and Armored Statue antique police alarm dated 1833This girl! Quite a curious vision in her ringlets and flounces and hair flowers and magic wand in hand looking as if about to head to a ball with the statue who stands beside her, a miniature knight in shining armor as her date! What makes it ever weirder is that the stamp on the back of the card labels it as a boudoir portrait as if this awkward young thing were meant to be a seductress.. Makes me wonder about that Zeph Magill! Wonderfully weird. 8 1
