Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: Just a very nice old decorative print by one of the best known print makers of the early twentieth century. It would make a nice addition to your collection or as a nice Condition: In very good overall condition. The frame has a few dings and scratches, the print appears to be a bit faded or could be the way it always was. The matting in clean with non of the usual staining you see in these pieces. The piece is missing the paper backing which would cover the cardboard backing as well as the wire where it would hang from. These can be done relatively easy and inexpensively. We are actually selling the piece as found and chose not to fix the back. Please see photos for additional condition information.
