LOL -- Fox News -- LOL

That is a GREAT caption, Mr. Shorpy!

Tonal range

Subject and setting aside, the tonal range achieved by the photographer (and scanner) is top notch. Deep blacks, all middle gray shades and a perfect rendering of the poor ermine. Not easily achieved even with today's digital technology.

Fashion fun!

My grandmother came of age during this time and she had many of these tail-biting animals. My cousins and I had a lot of fun attaching those spring-loaded jaws to each other as in critter-attack mode. Fun memories!
