Absolutely amazing photo, from almost every direction imaginable.
Btw, what was that Sherlock Holmes’ story again, in which most of the main characters lived fairly upright lives, but there was this specific brat (seen here on the right), who didn’t give a shizzle 'pon any such stuff.
This photo is both amazing and hilarious.
That kid is living in Germany, in 1898, and looks to be about 7 years old. That means in his 40s, he’s gonna be a nazi.
Here’s the Wikipedia article on that kid:

It seems like when he finally joined the nazi-party in 1940, he didn’t do it out of passion, but to be permitted to keep on working in film making.
Something so interesting and strange about seeing a picture of him as a small child, then immediately being able to see him as a middle aged adult.
I’m seeing a repeat, these days…
