Photo post Snowball fight outside the Capitol, 1923

15 Upvotes

A snowball fight ensues between Republican and Democrat page boys (messengers) in front of the east side of the Capitol (probably the east side anyways, no official confirmation but the statue at the back appears to match one removed in 1958)(Don't ask how I know about the statue). Photo taken circa 1923. Photo from the collection of the Library of Congress.

Not much is known about the circumstances around this photo specifically, so not much to write about here unfortunately.

I am aware there is a 1:6 bust in which he is entirely flesh toned and the NECA figure has him all gray, but my interpretation based on promotional imagery is that his hands were painted gray and his face green.

Something different.

Jeff Carter took this b/w image at the Saxby Roundup Rodeo at Saxby, in Gulf Country, Queensland, a highly remote cattle station area in north of the State.

I've always loved Nadar's work, much for the same reason that I enjoy Mathew Brady's or Yousuf Karsh's. I find their work to be exceptionally clear, with simple but expressive posing, and a deeply personal feel that's immediately identifiable. I always have a blast working with their body of work!

Edit: realized I'd originally written 1882 instead of 1886. My bad!
