However, Eisenmann was a very famous photographer who was known for his photos of oddness and deformities in humans. So it can&#039;t be ruled out, necessarily. It does strike me that the focus is on the carver and his work. I haven&#039;t tried to research the words written on the photo. May look into that soon!</p><p><br /></p><p>Wikipedia article about Eisenmann gives a good brief overview of what he was most known for. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Eisenmann" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Eisenmann" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Eisenmann</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[Edit: I removed one statement I made because hadn&#039;t noticed the OP&#039;s photo is the same one as the one on eBay that [USER=1476]@Debora[/USER] linked.][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
