Lion Statues

An attractive Victorian house on South Main Street in Mayville Wisconsin is known for its pair of concrete lion statues flanking the entrance. This close up of the statues actually shows the side of the neighboring house in the background. The photo was taken in September of 2016 with a Minolta XD11 35 mm SLR equipped with a 50-135 mm f/3.5 Minolta MD Zoom lens on Ilford FP4+ film. The negative was enlarged optically with a Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 50 mm f/2.8 Schneider Componon-S lens on Ilford Multigrade FB Classic Double Weight Fiber Base silver gelatin photo paper. Processing was done archivally using Kodak chemistry, with a final toning with Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner, treated with hypo clearing agent, and washed in an archival washer.
