Oh my, I'm so excited to share this one with all of you!! This is a gorgeous piece of Victorian Advertising, for a New York department store. This amazing piece is a wonderful colorful butterfly, with the most fabulous wings. Think of all the fairy's you can make with this graphic. I've included the back as well, as the printed writing is so lovely as well. You can see some old tape residue on the back, which adds a bit of character to the piece, I think. Be sure to click on the images to enlarge them.
I think this might be a moth...it has fuzzy antennae:)
ReplyDeleteKaren, I just love the butterfly advertisement. My daughter just sent me some vintage cards, some not even signed. I just love all your graphics. Thanks for sharing with us. Pat

ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a moth you crazy ladies!! That being said, it's very pretty, despite being a moth :P
ReplyDeleteBeautiful MOTH! It reminds me a little of the polyphemus moth.
