This lot consists of two framed items. The primary piece is a vintage paper photograph, likely a matte silver gelatin print, dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. The portrait depicts a young man in a white military uniform, possibly a naval hospital corpsman, featuring a medical rating badge with a caduceus symbol on his sleeve. The image is presented behind an oval brass mat with embossed scrollwork and is housed in a partial leather-covered wooden case. The second item is a small photomechanical reproduction print after a 17th-century portrait of a young girl. This is housed in a decorative gilded gesso-on-wood frame with ornate foliate motifs. No signatures, maker’s marks, or inscriptions are visible on either item.
