Between the Covers

Gelatin silver “Border Fox Tone” photograph measuring about 3” x 5”. Near fine. An attractive image of a young Black woman seated on the front fender of a Model A Ford. The photograph was manufactured in the style of a cabinet card with a black border. Stamped in purple on the back: “Guaranteed For Life: This is a Genuine Border Fox Tone Picture Made by Fox Company, San Antonio, Texas. Trade Mark Protected”. The image was likely taken with a Kodak Brownie camera. The owner of the Fox Company offered a free camera to anyone who purchased three rolls of film and prepaid developing and printing fees.
