SURPRISE-HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

A wonderful surprise for a wonderful friend/client.  An Arthur Leipzig photograph for an Anniversary gift.  This was sitting wrapped against a wall until my friends wife just couldn't take it anymore and had to know what was inside.  I love this family picture as much as the photograph.
