I enjoy that even in the midst of the slaughter he still keeps on his top hat. Gives “You can leave your hat on” a new and uber-creepy meaning!

One of these things is not like the other…
Cabinet card (a larger version of the CDV aka carte de visite, fact fans!) by W. E. Merrill, Ovid, Mich – on eBay. BTW I don’t put eBay listings here on cos of some odd advertising thing, I get nothing. It’s because eBay amazingly doesn’t archive any of these so after a few months *poof* gone…and the CDV, tintype and cabinet photo section is an an online archive like never before, really. So I backup ones I like onto Tumblr.
