All images in The New Found Photography are from my own private collection. I do not reblog or use any photos from any other source. All photos are either original prints or prints made from negatives in my collection. Remember, you can always click on an image to see it in a larger window.

The Ambulant Barber
Yet another unused postcard from Egypt, credited to "B. LIVADAS & COUTSICOS-CAIRO." I couldn't find anything about these photographers,on line, but was able to find plenty of examples of their work, including this one, which is part of the collection from The Boston Museum of Fine Arts. It's listed as a collotype, date unknown. And once again, blogger doesn't recognize an archaic photographic process as a real word.
I'm wondering what that partially exposed tool is in the bowl on the ground. A weird curling iron? Garden shears?
