Lot 38:
WWI Era Portrait Photograph of a Doughboy Soldier in Oak Frame
Sold for: $25
Description
A framed, portrait photograph depicting a young man in a military uniform, consistent with early 20th-century “doughboy” attire, likely from the WWI era. The subject is shown wearing an olive-drab uniform and an overseas cap. The image, appearing to be a photographic print with applied coloration on the subject’s face and portions of the background, is preserved under glass within a rectangular wooden frame. The frame exhibits a natural wood grain with a stepped, decorative profile, typical of oak. No visible text or markings are discernible on the front of the piece. The reverse features a simple cardboard backing secured with small nails and equipped with a wire hanger.
Condition report:
The piece exhibits age-appropriate wear. The oak frame displays minor nicks and rubs. The photograph shows general fading, surface dust under the glass, and minor imperfections consistent with its vintage. No significant damage or repairs are apparent.
