and apparently just for boys:(

Here I believe the portrait was executed in a combination of charcoal

so he was about 13 when he made these drawings

which is visible when viewed from that side and from above at certain angles

Clinging to the Top, Old Snapshot Photo of Tower Climber Emile Bluteau sculpture and apparently just for boys:(I love the way the man at the top of this rather make shift feeling tower clings to its post and gazing upward as if his climbing was not done for the sake of conquering the tower, but rather for the sake of getting closer to the heavens! Nice, too, that the tower topper extends beyond the top edge of the frame. 4 1 4" x 3 1 4" and in good condition, clearly removed from an album, with residue on the reverse.
