Opening: $180 Hammer Price: $180 SOLD Skylight Gallery 38 September 2014

Cabinet-card format albumen print showing a workman posed behind an unfinished dresser circa 1890, by Voigt, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Card imprinted front "Voigt / 224 and 226 Grand Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis."   ( Inventory# id906 )

The unpainted dresser in this image bears a small model number "120" in lower left corner of framework, where the mirror would later be placed, so in one way it might function as a catalog image of a particular furniture model. Yet the businesslike looking workman who stands behind its frame also represents the human factor that went into its production.

CONDITION: Generally excellent with some faint stains.
