Sister of the Moon | Victorian Framed CardExquisite Victorian card depicting a beautiful girl wearing a crescent moon ornament in her hair presented as found in her original gilded mat and timeworn wooden frame. The piece dates to around the 1870s 80s. Refer to photos for size & condition: Very good apart from the aging to the wood, which I think adds to its charm. The frame is meant to sit table top but you could easily add hardware to the back if you would like to fit it to hang.
