Donkey Photography—"Look Pleasant"

Donkey Photography—"Look Pleasant"
"Look pleasant" is what the horse/photographer is saying as a donkey and boy pose for a photo.

This is a postcard addressed on the other side to Mrs. Emma Cranford, Lisbon, Ohio, R.F.D. No. 2, and postmarked Wilson, Pa., June 27, 1910.

Handwritten message: "Sun. eve., just closing. All well and have been busy all day. Will write you a letter tomorrow. Got cherries and were fine and many thanks till better paid [I'm not sure of the meaning of this run-on sentence]. Love, Alice & Jno.

Smiley Derleth, John FitzGerald have particularly liked this photo

I'm always amused when people claim Cindy Sherman was the first to question the authenticity of photography. Thanks to you, I know all about these great photos published 60 years or more earlier that make the same point more forcefully.

Thanks, John! It is amusing, especially considering the early photos with double exposures and composites that look like they were photoshopped!
