Antique Schoolgirl Cut Paper Hand, Framed painting on wood which would have been used

which would have been used to cut leather for gloves and mittens

with some printed text along the very bottom edge

and a feeling of this rose as a very living thing

and made of ironstone with transfer graphic

Antique Schoolgirl Cut Paper Hand, Framed painting on wood which would have been usedThere's a bit of glare reflection in photos, but this is really a lovely old cut paper hand, with detailing at the cuff that makes it feel especially special. Cut from lined paper long ago, surely by a school child, with plenty of toning staining to the paper now, all to the good. I purchased it from a paper deal at Brimfield and put it in this old wooden frame, walnut I believe, to keep it safe and forever reaching! Framed: 7 1 8" x 5 3 8". Very good
