Sixth Plate

I’M HERE. The tiny character sat calmly in that wooden chair and rested his arms on the side supports allowing his fingers to dangle across his trousers. I noticed that one side of his dotted shirt was not tucked into his trousers. Could the lad, with such an innocent face have had a tantrum before one of his parents grabbed him up then aggressively placed him down, looking back at the operator indicating that he had one opportunity and the jig was up? Sure the boy bobbed his head while the sixth plate was exposed, but he was still so cute! New archival seals have been made. There are mold tentacles visible well inside the oval mat. Even the tarnish doesn?t obscure all of them. The few mat marks are hidden in the oxidation for the most part. The cover of a leather case is missing.
