A Family Vacation Guide To The Appalachian Mountains
 Who might this
dashing, dignified looking gent be? Today he would be someone's grandfather, even their
great-grandfather! Perhaps one of the Founding Father's of a promintent family of
WesternNorth Carolina where this beautiful protrait was
found: in an old box of 'treasures!'
This Beautiful Original Framed Charcoal
On Cardboard Vintage, Antique Portrait is 14" by 19" And including Its Frame
It Meausres: 15-1/2" x 30-1/2" x 5/8"
My
research reveals this portrait was most likely made in the late 1800's, as, for one reason, charcoal
portraits at that time were made not on paper and 'then' supported by a cardboard at the back when framed.
Rather, the paintings
were made directly on the cardboard itself and then framed,
held in with tack nails.
This portrait would fit beautifully in any
Victorian theme such as an antique bed and breakfast, etc.
