Thanks very much for this! It's great to learn more about this one, as well as miniatures in general. They're fascinating! I love this one...
It seems the concavity was because of the hollow in the wood behind the miniature. I got it out this morning and have posted some photos in the...
Thank you for your reply! The brown paper is definitely newer, as is the white piece of cardboard someone put behind the miniature to keep it in...
Oh that is very interesting, thank you for your reply and the link! Wow, I had no idea there was quite so much confusion about the original...
