This picture was taken in about 1911, and shows a little boy holding a rooster. The picture appears to be a hand tinted black and white photograph. The picture was taken near Jerusalem. I don't know if you have ever been around chickens, but roosters can be pretty mean. I was terrified of roosters when I was this boy's age, because I had had a few get after me. Anyway, I thought it was an interesting picture from long ago.Monday, December 8, 2008

Beautiful picture, I do know how mean roosters can be. My father used to have a big white rooster called Mildred who took all his aggression out on me.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this rooster isn't crowing any more and that's why he's slumped over in the boy's arms?
