They produced plates for illustrated books, art portfolios and periodicals including \u003cem\u003ePeterson's Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e. Their precision and clarity brought them national standing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title echoes Thomas Moore's poem of 1808, \u003cem\u003eLove's Young Dream\u003c\/em\u003e, a text closely bound up with the Victorian taste for sentimental and moral romance. The composition works in that idiom. Emotion is carried by posture and by symbol, the fallen roses and the gentle turn of the head, rather than by open gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTitle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLove's Young Dream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAfter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJane M.

The upper element is a viewing lens for composition alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finder is a waist level reflex finder, looked down into from above in the way a photographer would use a professional twin lens camera such as a Rolleiflex. The taking lens is the Kodet, a basic meniscus of fixed focus, with limited aperture and shutter speed options. The camera takes 620 roll film and produces six by six centimeter square negatives, the format of snapshot photography in those years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Duaflex series was introduced in 1947 as a bridge between the simple box camera and the more advanced twin lens reflex. It offered the look and the waist level handling of the professional instrument without its cost or complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Duaflex II was the second in the line and was made from 1950 to 1954. It was marketed as a family camera, affordable, lightweight, durable and easy to use, and it was especially popular among amateur photographers of the post war years. Kodak advertised it as giving \u003cem\u003ebig, sharp pictures\u003c\/em\u003e without the complexity of professional gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1950s photography was becoming accessible to ordinary families, and Kodak's marketing pressed the point with the line \u003cem\u003eYou press the button, we do the rest.\u003c\/em\u003e The Duaflex fitted that philosophy exactly, a stylish reflex style body at a fraction of the price of professional equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany American families through the 1950s and 1960s recorded birthdays, holidays and vacations on cameras of just this kind.

In September 1974, living in Culver City, he was the featured speaker at the Culver City Art Association, described as a painter whose emphasis was on realism, a contributor to \u003cem\u003eAmerican Artist\u003c\/em\u003e magazine and the illustrator of a new book. In 1983 he was credited as a prop builder on a Columbia Pictures feature. Zavosky is one of the rarest surnames in America, and he is the only painter of that name in any record we have found.
