Lovely in Pink, Small c. 1830s Century Hand-colored Print Behind Glass (Box Lid?) name plate 1881 is clearJust a small thing but I love her. Perhaps she was once inset into the lid of a patch or bonbon box, I'm not certain. Hand colored woodcut, under glass, with gilded paper border. c. 1830s. 2 3 4" x 1 3 4". Tear to to paper as evident from upper right diagonal, and general wear but stable and sound and I think very lovely.
