This is a very unusual cabinet photograph for its time. The image is sepia and dates in the 1890s. It was taken by Siegfreid Photographer, Quakertown, Pa. It is of a handicapped man with arm birth defects. Most of his arms are not there and no hands. However, he has devised a metal loop attached to the butt stock of his gun in order to hold it on his left arm. He has removed the trigger guard in order to fire it with his left arm. AMAZING! Inventive. He is dressed in a western shirt, leather, fringed pants, boots, and a western hat. He may have been with a Western Wild West Show. Really great and inspiring image. To bad he is not identified.
