The image is a beautiful high quality litho image of a Victorian era young woman, side profile with feather hat. The condition is some corner wear on upper right, and the corner tip missing. The back is blank with a bit of discoloration from being lightly glued with mucilage into a scrapbook, all the Victorian rage at the turn of the last century. Rare and beautiful.
