Man in Bowler with Pointer, Moody Antique Cabinet Card, Red Bank, NJ paintined and turtleI just love these too, who seem very right for each other, both with a quiet intensity look at their eyes. Something too about how this man holds one hand in the other, with the pinky free on the held one, and then a pinky ring on the other as if an offset. Feels like there is a bit of underlying tension here, waiting to be released! An a nice moodiness about the hole photo too. (Andrew R.) Coleman photographer, Red Bank, NJ, last decade 19th century
