We noted in a prior post that Geoffrey Hawkins, Timothy Deakin, Berkley Vanderzee and Falynne Hyperion all posed for portraits shortly after establishing the Society of the Mechanical Sun in January of 1882. These portraits were made into cabinet cards and a complete set was found within the Hawkins Strongbox. We have exhibited the Deakin and Vanderzee cards (Items 47 and 48 respectively) and today reveal the Geoffrey Hawkins portrait. It has been classified as Collection Item 46.
Hawkins posed for this photograph holding an early model æther-modified flintlock pistol. He also wears a Mechanical Sun brooch similar to the one worn by Timothy Deakin in his portrait.
