| D11-28. LOTS OF PAINE(S)! Oh sometimes my puns are so clever that I can't believe I even thought of them. I really shouldn't joke about the gorgeous damsel captured against a field of white on finely polished silver and vignetted across the bottom as if an additional embellishment was necessary. Very tight unbroken original paper tape seals have protected the lass from any harmful aging. Hints of patina hug the oval under the brass protector. Her blushing lips and rosy cheeks were further colored by an unknown professional daguerreian hand. The ninth size oval nestles in a slightly worn (from her lover opening and closing the case continuously no doubt) red plush velvet push button case. I would be remiss not to explain my title. Underneath the girl with those expansive soft eyes, tiny waist and delicate ringlets framing her face and caressing her bare shoulders was written: "Etta Paine cousin of Ida F. Paine niece of James L. Paine daughter of Vedder Paine." $585 |
