Nice sort of thing to have in the boudoir, at the foot of your bed. Somewhere to sit while you put on your stockings & somewhere to store a...
I'm only seeing this for the first time now. Although the fact of his having a studio portrait made urges me toward fraternal order of some sort,...
At 63", it would be more like a sash of some sort, for a very festive priest, if worn as one piece. Think 2many is absolutely correct; it was...
