Boy with crow, Raven black as night CDV photograph circa 1880. Looking much like Pugsley from the Adams Family this young gent has an especially droll expression. Neat some what Goth Carte de Visite. The bird, Jackdaw or Mynah bird, is content, perched atop a wooden Tee stand by a basket of fruit. Image from France with an overly floral Paris photographer signature.The odds of seeing such a rare 19th century image? NeverMore
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
Tis some visitor, I muttered, tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.
