Old Dry Plate Komusō Photograph

Dry plate photography was primarily used from the 1880s to 1920s so while it could have been taken later on outdated equipment and film, that time frame is a good estimate.  Very interesting that the photographer may have been experimenting with multiple exposure at this time and with this type of film.  Although, it's entirely possible the multiple exposure was a happy accident.
