Admittedly, I bought this item for the frame alone. I can always use a nice Blackforest picture frame. I thought I might use it (some day) to frame a period photo, a print or a watercolor. The print, itself, was just a little too saccharine, for me. On closer inspection, however, I concluded that the print has some value, too. It's indeed old—from the Nineteenth Century. And though the subject is not compelling (to me), it wears a nice patina of time. So I decided to list the piece. Either I will sell it with the print, as found, or I will use the frame when the right print comes along. Click on the photo above to learn more about this frame (and print).
