Ms. Cladrite recently made a purchase that yielded far greater treasures than she might ever have expected. A couple of weeks back, we were strolling the aisles of Uncommon Objects, a vintage emporium in Austin, Texas, and Ms. Cladrite was taken by a potrait, dating, we guessed, from the 1960s, of a young man joyously playing the accordian. The portrait was housed in an inexpensive picture frame, and we almost wondered if it wasn't one of those generic pictures that come included in store-bought frames. But no, it was not a commercial insert, but, as we confirmed upon extracting the picture from the frame, a studio portrait taken in December 1962.
