Original cabinet card of a woman, framed together with her memorial card. The image is sharp and clear, the entire piece is nicer than I can show here because my pics came out a bit yellowish and grainy.
I receive this piece already framed, have never opened the back or examined the pieces, and can't provide a condition report of what is underneath the mat, but I have no reason to think there are any hidden damages, as the visible areas appear excellent and undamaged.
I personally believe this woman was not yet dead in the photo, but gravely ill and close to death, so a photographer was called in to have her portrait taken. Many others who have seen this set believe she was already deceased...
The mat openings are 5.5" x 3.75".. slightly smaller than the standard cabinet card size. Condition of the frame is very good.. some very light wear to the double gold lines in a spot or two. The frame measures slightly larger than 11" x 9".
Well-packed, boxed shipping.
