Pink tinting applied to butcher's face and hands. Housed in a period passe-partout mount with faux tortoiseshell design. Overall dimensions of mount 6 x 5 inches (15x12 cm). An extremely unusual image of a French butcher preparing this tasty foodstuff. Despite numerous pet rabbit images, this image of a rabbit being prepared for food is the first such I have seen. In the 19th-century and earlier, animals (particularly small ones like rabbits) were killed much closer to the time of consumption. (Christopher Wahren) |

Card imprinted front "Newhaven Fishwife / Douglas / Edinburgh." Reverse blank. The painting of the background in this image blends well with the sitters to create the picture of a housewife or maid negotiating for the purchase of fish fresh from the day's catch. She regards the large fish resting on her plate with a critical eye, as the fish-seller holds another. (Christopher Wahren) |
| 58. |  | Fritz Henle 1947 Hawaiian Net Caster, Hawaii Gelatin silver print Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin © Fritz Henle Estate, Image courtesy of Harry Ransom Center. When I photographed the Hawaiian Islands after the war, I was happy to find there was still a great deal of native tradition and folklore. My book Hawaii immortalizes some of the islands' wonderful but vanishing native people , and my friend Stanley Stubenberg, who was born in Hawaii, knew nothing of this book before we met and told me of the impact my pictures had made. This fisherman, photographed on the coast of Oahu, was throwing his net for the daily catch a beautiful image of strength and motion accompanied by the thunder of the Hawaiian surf."
