Victorian camera

This little 3 1/2 inch die-cut sticker of a photographer with his view camera was part of a page from a disassembled Victorian scrap book that I bought just for him. Unfortunately the die-cut was so fragile that it came apart in several pieces. Jack patiently fit it back together and glued it to a square of archival board. Thanks Jack! Although it is hard to handle I think I might scan some of the other scraps on the pages for my chromolithograph set.
