Part of what I think makes it great is the darkness of the photograph

Scratch Made Folk Art WW1 Style Triplane/Seaplane brass toy rolled cornersThis is an inventive creation made from scratch (scrap!) by someone who knew how to make stuff! It was welded together of cut tin, steel, wire, screws and who knows what all, but all of it metal I believe, yielding a WWI style triplane that I find a surprisingly elegant thing, almost like a three dimensional drawing in space with a rather balletic feeling to its lines. Great from every angle, it would be a nice one actually see floating in the breeze,
