We're not sure if this resident of 19th century Boston needed thumb picks to play his banjo, but we suspect that he got by without them. The image comes from Flickr user Photo_History, a collector of old school photographs. It's from a cabinet card that was probably made by Louis De Ribas, "a Boston photographer who patented a drop shutter in 1887."

We were looking for a spooky picture in honor of Halloween, and the statues in this shot by Bostonist's own r_dorissa are pretty darn creepy.
