WAS HE SCREAMING?

Someone decided that older brother needed to keep his younger sibling under control while the lens was uncapped when this primitive resealed sixth plate was taken. Brightness bathed the boys and it quickly dissipated beyond that man-sized chair they were seated upon. Note how the lad used his arm to pinion his brother in place. No doubt he over-squeezed his hand too. The itinerant?s black restraining belt was wrapped across the little fellow?s checkered tunic. Both boys have the screw tops of the metal clamps visible above their heads. Brown dots and a trapped piece of dust on the subject seated on the left are obvious. Flows of oxidation surround them. Their leather case has a very weak hinge. In hand, this dag is very endearing.
