It's Friday and time to focus on art again. Today I'm starting with some photos from 1880 to 1920 about which I have no info, but have a pretty good hunch were made for artists to draw or paint from. We begin with an early 20th C. model who is on the beefy side for the era.
Wow...nice one...excellent use of a prop that is the right size and shape of a real sword, but cheaper a safer to transport... Just bough one myself...
ReplyDeleteYes, those wooden swords show up regularly in this genre of photo, and it's interesting to know they're still in use.
