I discovered this behind a mirror in an antique cabinet I am refinishing, used as backing.  It is very well-preserved, but the left side has been trimmed to fit behind the mirror.  Printed on heavy card stock, about the weight of quality mat board. It measures 18” by 11 1/2”, so the original size was likely 18 x 12.
This in not perfect, as I have tried to capture in my photos.  There are nail mark indentations on the edges, which will be invisible if matted and framed.  Not certain the professional term, but I will say some age mottling on the face, which does not seriously detract from its beauty.  I attempted to capture that.  Overall great condition for being nearly a hundred years old.  I wiped it off with a soft dry cloth, but can use a good cleaning.  I’ll leave that to the buyer, as I am not a professional, and don’t want to screw it up.
Fabulous graphics, as shown.  This piece has been hidden for nearly a century, and needs to be proudly displayed on someone’s wall or in someone’s collection.  Please feel free to ask me questions.
Shipping is to United States only.  International buyers should contact me before purchasing to arrange for shipping.
This is such a beautiful piece that I might rethink, decide to pull the listing and keep it for myself.  You might want to act quickly, before I change my mind.  Thanks for looking.
