" And while this one doesn't compete with some of the much more elaborate early examples (including one held in the collection of the V&A) I think it is pretty fabulous--and the slabs of meat

Queen of the Ducks, Old Snapshot Photo to hanh " And while this oneQueen of the ducks, who I'd imagine eagerly and loudly awaited her arrival at this particular corner of the farm every day. At least they all look very much like family to me. I like that she stands at dead center of the photo, the hub and focal point, with the telephone pole in the background extending up straight up from the top of her head as if to mark the spot! 3 9 16" x 2 1 2" and in very good condition.
