Photo Op

7”h x 7”w x 4.5”d

This newspaper photo c1915 shows an artist painting the cherry blossoms being photographed by a group of photographers who are photographed by another photographer with one of those large square box cameras.  I imagine it was a similar set up to the newspaper photos we see these days of the wedding couples getting their pictures taken at the tidal basin. The tray has a map of downtown washington and the edging is perforated aluminum.
