Here's an antiques niche in a Bavarian household, photographed 70 years ago. I have no idea what that Baroque clock sculpture would be worth today. It depicts an Arab or Turk mounted on a stallion and wielding a sword to fight off a snarling tiger, all in livid color and tiny details. I wish I could have taken the glass cover off so I could do a closeup, but circumstances prevented that. Color? Color film in Occupied Germany was available onlyy in the Post Exchange (PX) and was rarely in stock, so it was a matter of luck. Anyway, I was shooting medium format so color negative was the material, and its stability was very questionable in both the negative and the print, especially after 70 years.
