This 5-inch by 3½-inch photograph was printed on Kodak Velox paper. It is stamped "841D" on the back. That's all we know.

- Could this photograph be considered an abstract work of art?
- Discuss.
- What type of frame would be best for displaying this photo?
- Wait. Why are you framing this photo?

- OK. Getting back on point: What size is this shoe?
- What does the design of the shoe tell us about the cultural mores of that time?
- Do you think German Expressionism influenced the photographer's angle for this photo?
- What does it all mean?
