LOVE, Early Punch Paper Embroidery on Ribbon hand-colored photographs with a surface worn smooth

with a surface worn smooth and nice weight to it

I LOVE the figure on the face of this plate

and with a steel post attached to one front leg should one want to stand him outside the front door for a bit to keep an eye on things

LOVE, Early Punch Paper Embroidery on Ribbon hand-colored photographs with a surface worn smoothOne of several early punch paper embroideries on ribbon this week, which came from the massive estate of major ephemera dealer with a penchant for punch paper (among many many other things.) Hard to argue with the message, and the stretches of (now) pale yellow striped, woven silk ribbon to either side read a bit like wings to me. Lovely love. 12 1 2 l ; embroidery 4 1 4 x 2. Stains and fading to the ribbon for sure, which seems right, but not much
