Beautiful Boy with Pair of French Bulldogs Antique Snapshot Photo 14 karat gold The whole thing is wonderfully

The whole thing is wonderfully primitive

which admittedly in a few cases seems a fairly cumbersome endeavor

5" x 3 5/8"

Late 19th/very early 20th century I believe and very finely done

with bold black letters and cut to an arrow at one end

Beautiful Boy with Pair of French Bulldogs Antique Snapshot Photo 14 karat gold The whole thing is wonderfullyTo my eye just a wonderful photograph, of a beautiful young man in hat and rolled up sleeves, looking gentle and focused as he grips the studded collars of this equally beautiful pair of bulldogs! Something very poetic and balletic about it all, and with the triangle formed by the bodies of the boy and dogs making me think of nothing less than Leonardo and holy trinities! 5" x 4" and very good condition. Earlyish 20th c. I believe.
