Balustrades


 
LL/67123
 
A favorite of the carte-de-visite era, the studio balustrade suggested a view from a balcony or a stroll through a manicured garden. Whether straight, curved, or crumbling with fake age, the balustrade provided a horizontal line to ground the figure and a convenient height for a casual lean.
