SETTLING AN OLD SCORE WITH A GAME OF “GO”
SETTLING AN OLD SCORE WITH A GAME OF “GO”
The fashionably flamboyant Mr. Maguro and his neighbor Mr. "Q Ball" had been at enmity with each other almost since they were born. Both of them have completely forgotten why, but that’s beside the point.
As sworn enemies, the have kept their swords sharpened, and lain in wait for each other on many a dark night — so dark, in fact, that they never could see each other, and went home without tasting blood.
Their wives, who were sisters, tried to reason with their husbands — but to no avail.
Finally, they informed their husbands — " NO SEX and NO FOOD until you guys lay down your swords, and settle your old score with a game of GO.
So….here they are going at it. However, they keep their swords within easy reach, fully expecting the other to cheat, giving them good reason to chop each others heads off.

These are stunning. Where did you get them? Are they framed in your home?
Most of these are actually two photos mounted — one to each side — on old photo-mount album boards from the 1870s. I imaging that they have been pasted down with Japanese rice paste. Each double-sided board is stored in a dark, cool place inside a clear, archival sleeve.
Due to age and frailty, I would not put any of them on the walls for any "long term" display (the way we keep the pictures of our kids or parents up there). Lighting is also a problem in the average home, and the colors that your see (admittedly applied in the 1870s by a slightly SLOPPY colorist) would probably suffer, even if framed behind UV filter glass. I’d rather just take them out and hold them in the hand under subdued incandescent light, and to share them like that "close up" with others who think this old stuff is worth a look.
However, a short run (say a few of weeks) of Gallery display under controlled lighting conditions would be fine for these prints,
On another note about light and color. It has been said to me that "you shouldn’t even scan these things" for flickr or record keeping. The rare scan of any old photo is perfectly fine.
