Lover in Pursuit, Real Photo Postcard of Grecian Amphora cylindrical wooden box This was a direct positive

This was a direct positive process

One could wrap the edges around a stretcher

Some aging to the paint as evident

So reads the text on the back of this handheld amusement

with a little effort

Lover in Pursuit, Real Photo Postcard of Grecian Amphora cylindrical wooden box This was a direct positiveI've become really attracted to old photos of classical art, whether statues of vessels, so immediate scooped up this real photo postcard of ancient Grecian amphora (I believe) and a second of a pair of lekythos as soon as I spotted them. And, of course this portrayal of young male on the hunt for a lover is about as classic as it gets. 5 1 2" x 3 9 16", unused printed back. Good condition, with a light crease to the upper right corner.
