Air Pump, Halter Top, Vintage Snapshot of Two Young Women in Garage kolmor very early Victorian in sensibilityAmong my very favorite snapshots in quite a while. These two look so much themselves, so relaxed, and very warm toward whoever was taking the photograph. With a pump in the hands of the young woman at left, and the young woman at right with hand on a steering wheel and a license plate to her right, seems they are just inside a garage, maybe waiting for a boyfriend or husband to finish up and get them on the road, off on an adventure! 6 1 8" x 3 7 8",
