I think the paper is machine made. Machine made papers can be patterned to look like laid. This is a paper made in 1874: [ATTACH] This paper is...
I would guess it's hobby stuff. Thousands of patterns were published for fret saw projects. Before television, people had time on their hands....
This looks like a sloppy weld: [ATTACH] Is it all the way around? If so, maybe it is a wall sconce and the top section should be at a right...
so a gallery sticker?
So, yeah, if the dam replaced the bridge, there's artistic license in that composition. Honestly, I want to go there and climb up above the...

@Tahmoor girl : I can see that you are trying to help, and I appreciate it. More than one question has been answered on these boards by people...
Just a bit of confusion. The book came from the U of T library, but the link is Australian.
Do you have a link to that U of T resource?
The second one is Voldstedt (VEB Oldest Volkstedt Porcelain Factory). I don't know the first one, but I wonder if it might be Carl Scheidig of...
