Description: Wistful hand tinted portrait shows a three-quarter view of a self-possessed young lady in a spotless lawn gown; her precious curls adorned with a massive, cornflower silk bow. Seated before an elegant, period fireplace with antique andirons and a cut-crystal decanter , the serene little girl gives us a window into a childhood so foreign to today's world of screens and noise, it could be from another dimension, not just another era. The sizable ( frame measures 11x 13+") image is primarily in deep sepia, with delicate, hand-applied touches of rose, amber and pale blue. Image is signed ( " TOWNSEND") and dated ('12.). Pre-WWI photograph is in very good used condition, with slight corner damage and tearing as shown. Photo is under glass ( clean and intact) and surrounded by a tiger-veneer frame ( expected dings as shown). Picture is wired for hanging. I did dissemble the piece; I like to see how authentic the framing is and assess any damage ). There was a foam-core backing, obviously a newer addition, plus a wonderful surprise: a full-color page of Famous American Inventors, published in 1910. This will of course be included in your purchase, as it is part of the history and narrative of the photograph. Lovely, nostalgic photo portrait is a transporting addition to your collection or décor. Framed piece ships USPS Ground Advantage from Los Angeles.
