Lot 65

Enchanting pair of Russian cabinet cards of a handsome and stylish black gentleman posed in two different, stunning suits. In the first image he is seen standing with a smile on his face. He is sporting a killer white hat and his striped suit is equally exciting. His white vest and starched white collar create the perfect compliment. He wears a fashion forward thin black striped tie that is adorned with a pearl encrusted upside down horseshoe. He certainly proves the bad luck theory wrong! He holds a simple thin wood cane with brass handle with gloves in hand. One final highlight is his stylish dark shoes with spats! In the second image he sits on a faux wall and is sporting a bowler hat. This time he wears a more traditional suit although better than most! He is also still wearing his lucky horseshoe pin and this time we can see his pinky ring. Both silver prints are in excellent minus condition with stunning tones and contrast. There is a hint of wear as seen. These were taken in St. Petersburg, Russia with the photographer identified along with his exhibition medals.
