Rare original postcard photograph by Rosselle of Rosedale, Mississippi of the fiddler wearing a hat, cardigan sweater, and tall work boots seated with his legs outstretched, "Post No Bills Here" amusingly written in the negative over the sole of his left shoe, with caption below, also rudely penned in the negative, reading, " Bill Bailey / Champion Fiddler, of / Benoit, Miss." Wear to edges, small losses along left, else fine, 3.5 x 5.5 inches (8.8 x 13.5 cm). Humorous, evocative.
