Blossom's most alluring photo shoot ~ No. 2 (circa 1958; actual size approx. 7.6 x 9.5 in. (19.3 x 24.2 cm.)). Just one look at this photo set probably begs the question, "What happened to the other four Toulouse-Lautrec lithos on the wall?" Good question. If I remember correctly from childhood, my mother crafted the Siamesed picture frames herself, using a rather flimsy decorative wood stock that she painted black. Apparently the upper frame could not bear the weight of the prints it housed, and they probably fell to the floor one day. Note the handwritten inscription, probably in my dad's hand, at top left. Unfortunately, this print is marred by more bacterium-like disfigurements at the upper right, as well as a nasty crease running diagonally in the same general area. Even more curious, Blossom's right pant leg looks more faded here than in any of the other exposures. For these reasons this photo was left entirely unretouched.
